A Philosophy of Polyglottery [EN] - Ellen Jovin at the Polyglot Gathering 2016

[@LiamPorterFilms]

Refreshingly frank. A very entertaining talk.

[@priscillastilwell2972]

This is a brilliant talk. So many important points.

I really enjoy seeing someone else's meal on the internet because you can see what people eat all across the world. That's one of the reasons why internet was created

[@FilosSofo]

how is this philosophy?

[@sharonoddlyenough]

This is humour and poking fun at very specific parts of a community

[@antonyferrober554]

Este nivel de franqueza es refrescante en la comunidad. De una manera u otra nos empieza a dar una pauta a seguir para cualquier novato en la comunidad.

I’d so much like a job where I make use of all my languages !

[@seriekekomo]

I can relate to a lot of the things she talks about, I love it. I think the reason why there are more male hyperpolyglots than female, it's just because men are more inclined to get obsessed and engrossed in a certain hobby, discipline, work, etc... I've seen quite a few very good female polyglots in the internet, though.

I think there are probably similar numbers between both, but men are more likely to seek recognition, so they're the ones you hear about.

[@keegster7167]

Yes! A shout-out to the conlanging community!

That poor guy on the left with his hand up must be invisible, he should wear bright colors next time 😂

[@LiamPorterFilms]

at 48:45 I''m really not sure that guy was joking - rather just repeating platitudes about gender.

[@JudgeHill]

But he's odd...

[@Account-pq1it]

Retinend the lady's at his college got him well trained 😂

[@riveromontara1242]

Sometimes talking less is saying more.

[@martinet1985]

Well, I hate people posting pictures of their breakfast because I think it's dumb, but that aside the internet is a great invention for sure.

[@MiltonJava]

Good for you, you don't say you "speak" 20 languages.

[@aycaramba9540]

I am from GÖTTINGEN. Now living in China :)

[@chicoti3]

Lol this lady clearly is envious about more successful polyglots.

[@bloodaxe5028]

It should be "the philosophy of polyglottery" .

[@Peter-wc7dg]

I think that "a philosophy" is ok because she is talking about her own philosophy, not necessarily a single big philosophy that everyone follows.
