Abstract
Kató Lomb (1909–2003) was one of the great polyglots of the 20th century. A translator and one of the first simultaneous interpreters in the world, Lomb worked in 16 languages for state and business concerns in her native Hungary. She achieved further fame by writing books on languages, interpreting, and polyglots. Her memoir Polyglot: How I Learn Languages presents insights into language learning from the perspective of a highly motivated learner with minimal resources. This article looks at a sampling of Dr. Lomb’s ideas on language learning.
