Victor Ivanov
Victor Ivanov, father of three children and polyglot, speaker of six languages (Russian, German, English, Chinese, Spanish and Catalan). He has a background in mathematics and economics, studied in Russia (Moscow), Germany (Heidelberg), Switzerland (St. Gallen) and Barcelona (IESE and ESADE).
Languages have interested and accompanied the author throughout his life. The time and attention devoted to languages paid off with the current ability to communicate fluently in six languages. Since becoming a father, the author has gone from being a student to being a teacher and began to observe the way in which we learn languages.
If there are so many language schools, why is speaking a foreign language still a challenge? That question motivated the author to initially do research and then to write this book. Another reason this book exists, is the author’s admiration for the languages that exist in this world. Each language is a cognitive universe, each language reflects a different way of understanding this magnificent world.
Learning languages is, first of all, learning to learn languages. The purpose of this book is to motivate and inspire the reader to learn foreign languages. Every human being has an innate ability to learn languages. Why is it a challenge then? Turn the page and start to find the answers!
