  • Hello, this is six minute English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • Bonjour, Rob!

  • Konnichiwa!

  • Excuse me?

  • Ola, como estas.

  • Oh, okay, I think Neil's saying hello in different languages.

  • Uh, French, was it?

  • And then Japanese.

  • And Spanish, is that right?

  • See, Mobile!

  • The English are famously slow to learn other languages,

  • but it seems that Rob and I, and of course you, our global audience here at six minute English,

  • are good examples of polyglots.

  • People who speak more than one language,

  • sometimes known as super linguists.

  • People who speak multiple languages benefit from many advantages,

  • as we'll be hearing in this program.
