Hey Bob,

I recently sat down with Stefano Suigo.

He speaks 10 languages. Fluently.

Italian, English, German, Portuguese, Finnish, French, Romanian... and that's before we get to the harder ones.

Now, I've spent a lot of time with a lot of polyglots. But Stefano is different.

Because his approach isn't what you'd expect.

No method. No system. No 90-day challenge.

What he does have is a very clear way of thinking about why certain approaches work for certain languages... and why the same approach can be completely useless for others.

This is a man who started learning Finnish by reading a grammar book in bed.

Who treats language like music... If he likes the sound of it, he'll learn it.

Who hasn't learned a single new language in six years... and has a very good reason why.

There's a moment in the conversation where he says something about language maintenance that genuinely shifted how I think about it.

I won't spoil it here.

Oh... and I put together a free PDF with Stefano's biggest tips. You'll find it in the description of the episode.

You can check it out here.
