Hey! The reality show "Polyglot", which was launched by the TV channel "Culture", caused a great resonance in society. What caused the increased public interest in this project? Already by the name you can guess that we will talk about a foreign language, or rather about English. But first things first.
What is the value of the Polyglot project?
The format of this show provides an opportunity for viewers not only to observe the success of the participants, but also to actively learn English for the same 16 lectures. That is, you can also watch the video, read additional materials, complete tasks and start speaking English in a few weeks.
The developer of the Polyglot system and the teacher of 16 English classes is a well-known linguist, polyglot (30 languages!) - Dmitry Petrov. The goal of the project is to teach English in 16 hours. Petrov's method is to get into English, to feel comfortable in this language environment.
The intellectual show is attended by a group of 8 students, mostly famous people. All participants of the "Polyglot" either do not know English at all, or have a vague idea of it from the school curriculum. 
In any case, they will have to learn English from scratch in 16 lessons. Already in the 1st lesson, students begin to learn new words and try to communicate in English. With tension, long pauses, with mistakes, but progress is immediately noticeable.
16 killer hours of English
In all 16 lessons, which last no more than an hour, participants recall and consolidate what they have learned, then learn a new group of words and phrases. New lexical and grammatical material is introduced. By the end of the Polyglot course, students in 16 hours master the basic grammatical patterns, are easily explained in English, and use complex word formations correctly.
We will provide you with 16 video lessons of the intellectual show "Polyglot", as well as auxiliary test materials that will help you consolidate the material faster and more efficiently, as well as tips for correct pronunciation.
Each lesson is discussed in detail in a separate article.

A real gift from the famous linguist Dmitry Petrov and the Kultura TV channel. A video course of 16 lessons, at the end of which you will be able to speak English. This is the most helpful English course for beginners I have ever seen. Below is the text of the video. Watch and read, you won't regret it!
Good afternoon! Today we will start the course, which will take 16 lessons. Our goal is to learn to speak English. To master the language perfectly - not enough life. To learn how to speak professionally, you also need to spend enough time, effort, and energy. But in order to simply learn to understand people, to be understood and, most importantly, to get rid of fear, which for many hinders any desire and ability to speak the language - I am sure that this will take no more than a few days.
What I offer you, I have experienced myself and enough in large numbers people: I am a professional translator, a professional linguist, I do simultaneous translation in a number of languages, I teach it to others… And gradually some approach, some mechanism… time.
- How many languages do you know?
There are 7-8 main European languages that I constantly work with as a translator and as a teacher. Well, there will be 2-3 dozen other languages that I can speak in the situation when it is necessary.
- And what, did you learn all these languages in a few lessons?!
Yes, if we are talking about the second category of languages, it is absolutely true. A week is enough for any language.
Let me explain what is required for this. After all, what is language? First of all, language is a new view of the world, of the surrounding reality. This is the ability to switch, that is, to make a click - as in the receiver we change one program for another - to tune in to another wave. What is required on your part is, above all, motivation. It may be just a desire to travel, it may be something related to the profession, with training, with communication. It can be friendship and, finally, love.
Now we will try to figure out what prevented you from learning the language. Because one might think that we are talking about some kind of miracle: how is it possible to speak the language in a few days? In my opinion, the miracle is different: how can you learn a language for months, years and not be able to connect some elementary things on it? Therefore, I will ask you to begin by giving your names and briefly saying that until now it has been a significant difficulty for you, why do you still not speak English?
- My name is Michael. First of all, there was no incentive for me to speak. And at school, when I was going through this whole thing, at some point I missed it, then I didn’t understand and ...
This is a fairly typical argument, because most of you know a huge amount of English words - consciously or subconsciously, but English words hover everywhere. But they can be compared with a scattering of beads, which are scattered by themselves, but there is no system. The lack of a system makes it difficult to use words effectively, so one of basic principles my method, my system is to create this thread, the rod, where you can string all these beads.
Please, what is your name?
- Daria.
How did your relationship develop with the language?
- Well, to be honest, it seems to me that only laziness prevented me from learning it, because, in principle, I kindergarten I have already begun to teach him all the time, and still do not know, although there is a desire. Now I really want to learn English!
Well, laziness is a state and property worthy of respect. Everything we have, we must accept. Because fighting laziness is unrealistic. Therefore, I want to tell you the good news: in addition to the fact that our course is quite compact (these are not years or months, these are 16 classes, by the end of which, as I hope, if you help me and take a step towards me, we will just speak English) you will have to do some things on your own, but another good news is that you will not have to sit for hours and do some homework. Firstly, because it is unrealistic - no adult will ever do any homework for hours, no matter what he does.
I will ask you for a few minutes every day to repeat certain things that I will suggest that you do at the end of each session. I can't believe you don't have 5 minutes 2-3 times a day to repeat certain patterns. What is it for? The amount of information that is really worth mastering, learning, hammering into yourself does not exceed the multiplication table. It will be necessary to bring several basic structures to automatism. What does it mean? Bring them to a level at which, for example, our legs work when they walk, how our structures work. mother tongue. It's quite real.
Please, what is your name?
- My name is Anna. The formal approach prevented me from learning English. Because I did really well in school, and the basically simple things that we learned came down to schemes that I can't use when I meet a real person. Right now, for example, a person from Dublin came to visit us, and I feel that there is no full-fledged communication. I'm offended, time is running out ... At the same time, I remember that I know everything, I have 5 in English: the table is white, the wall is black, everything is fine, but there is nothing to say!
Resentment is a very powerful motivation! Well thank you! You?
My name is Vladimir. I'm just ashamed. It hurts me when I can't express myself. I understand that it is enough to relax, as I once had, I was talking with one Englishman after a couple of beers - I could communicate with him easily. For some reason, since childhood, I did not like to study. I had the feeling that I knew everything. There is a feeling that I also know English. Sometimes in my sleep I speak easily and understand everything. Sometimes watching a movie in English, I fall asleep and begin to understand it. But I never learned to speak.
- My name is Anastasia. It seems to me that the lack of immersion in the environment prevents me. Because when I start teaching myself and studying from books, these schemes begin: what is put first, what then, all the verbs ... I can no longer improvise, I always remember this scheme in my head and think that I need to substitute it there.
Quite right! Our goal is to ensure that this scheme does not have to be remembered.
- My name is Alexandra. It probably bothers me that there is a huge range of different methods and schools. I have a huge amount of information in my head, but I still cannot talk about the past, future and present. I get confused in these forms and, of course, after 10 minutes my interlocutor says OK ... 🙂
Well, maybe you are generally philosophical about time? .. In the course of the course, we will put things in order.
- My name is Oleg, and I have a certain horror, of course, about irregular verbs ...
The beginning was similar: my name is Oleg and I'm an alcoholic 🙂
- I'm scared all the time, it seems to me that I can't concentrate on the language that I think I know now at the level of “your mine understands”.
- My name is Alice. I was always prevented by laziness and lack of time to go to courses and simply restore the language in volume.
Language in general, quite rightly, should be perceived as something voluminous. Any information that we receive in a linear form (a list of words, a table, a diagram of some rules, verbs) - this causes what we call the student's syndrome: learned, passed and forgot. For volumetric learning of a language, it is not enough to know the words, you need to feel your physical presence in a new environment. Therefore, an image and some emotional attachments, sensations must be connected. Now, if offhand you ask a question when they talk about the English language, what association comes to mind? Here English language What came right away?
- Envy! When I see children who speak English...
From childhood and for free 🙂
- I remember the book. Edition of Shakespeare - old-old! At my parents. Such a brown cover… I've been leafing through it since childhood, I thought, my God! And fields overgrown with heather...
Heather honey 🙂
So the first schema is the verb schema.
The verb in every language is the stem. And I must say, when we talked about the number of words that need to be mastered, there is such statistics: regardless of our age, level of education, the language we speak, 90% of our speech falls on 300 - 350 words. By the way, from the list of these basic 300 words, verbs occupy 50 - 60 words (depending on the language).
According to the logic of using verbs, we can talk either about the present, or about the future, or about the past.
We can either affirm or deny something, or ask, ask a question.
And here is a table of 9 possible options.
Let's take a verb. For example, love. The functionality of the verb is given by the system of pronouns:
I, you, we, they, he, she.
You love means "you love" or "you love". It is sometimes erroneously claimed that in English everything is “you”. Nothing like this! Everything in English is “you”. There is a word for "you" in English, but it is only used when speaking to God, in prayers, in the Bible, and so on. This word is thou, but we will not even write it down, because a rare native speaker even knows it.
Now, if the person is 3rd, then here we add the letter s:
In any language, no matter what we undertake, in my opinion, all forms of the verb must be given at once, so that we can immediately see the three-dimensional structure. And not like today we learned it, a month later - the past tense, a year later - the interrogative form ... All at once, in the first minutes!
Read more about times in the article. There is a video there. Dragunkin explains everything very clearly 🙂
In order to form the past tense, the letter d is added:
I loved
he loved
she loved
To form the future tense, an auxiliary word will is added: I will love; he will love; she will love.
- What about "shall"?
Canceled. For the last 30 years, "shall" has been used in legal/clerical language.
- That is, when we were taught, it was already canceled?
Already gone!)
And here we have the affirmative form of the verb.
- And “it” is what we have?
“It” is not. There is no word for “it” in English because there is no gender. Russian has masculine, feminine, and neuter genders; English has none. The word it simply means "it" and has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, many who were told at school that he, she, it are three genders remained in this delusion. There is no gender in English! There is one common genus. He and she are words indicating the gender of a person, but this is not a grammatical gender. In Russian, big / big / big, in English it will all be big.
That is, if I, as in Russian, play with the word “it” (it) somehow literary, they won’t be able to translate me?
Absolutely. So we have to look for some other means.
…
Negative form: don't added:
I/you/we/they don't love; he/she doesn't love.
Negative past tense:
I/you/we/they/he/she didn't love.
This structure is the most important, the most difficult, the very first in the English language. Mastered it - consider mastered half of the language.
Negative form in the future tense:
I/you/we/they/he/she will not love.
Interrogative form in the present tense: DO, DOES are added.
Interrogative form in the past tense: DID.
Interrogative form in the future tense: WILL.
The system of coordinates has turned out: at first I am defined, whether I APPROVE, I ASK or I DENY, then I find out, it WAS, IS or WILL be?
Here is this list, in which there are 50 - 60 verbs that each person constantly uses (there are, of course, 1000 others, but they occupy 10%). There are regular verbs: love, live, work, open, close... But there is another half of the verbs, which is called and causes awe and horror, because from childhood everyone remembers these tables with three forms, hundreds of some kind of verbs...
So, in fact, in the basic list that we need to master and bring to automatism, there are half of them, that is, 20 - 30 irregular verbs that we need to master. Take the irregular (super irregular) verb see:
I don't see. He doesn't
As long as nothing changes...
And only in one case (statement in the past tense) out of 9 possible cases does the “obscene” form saw appear:
This is the form of the verb that is written in brackets: see (saw).
Moreover, irregular verbs can only be very common, because in the course of history they are used so often that they are inevitably distorted.
The third form of the verb, which we will get to later, is the participle (seen, done, etc.), so it should be lumped together with the verb form.
In all other 8 cases - correct or irregular verb- not important.
Say, “he came” and “he came” in English are they the same thing?
The notion of the form ( perfect view/ imperfect form) is only in Russian (Slavic languages):
Come, come
This is not the case in English:
He came – he came; He came
You take a verb and run it through all these forms. It takes 20 to 30 seconds. Then take another verb. When mastering structures, the regularity of repetition is much more important than the amount of time. It is very important. You will be convinced that after 2-4 lessons this structure will work automatically.
Is this diagram clear? There are several more schemes that are simpler, smaller and clearer. But everything is based on this scheme, so it needs to be brought to automatism. When you try to speak, this is the first thing to do. And you need to either spend time and energy on this to glue it on your internal monitor, or to ensure that it will work on its own, for you.
With regular repetition through the pond of days, this structure will begin to work automatically, which, perhaps, has not happened for many years.
This is usually given very loosely and the ratio is not explained. When there is no single three-dimensional picture, problems arise that many people have been pursuing for years.
This concludes our first lesson, and I really hope that you will have a few minutes to try to move this structure towards automatism. Goodbye!
Not so long ago, the intellectual reality show "Polyglot" appeared on the Kultura TV channel. In this reality show, the famous polyglot and translator Dmitry Petrov, who knows more than 30 languages, appears as a teacher.
So, Dmitry Petrov has developed an intensive course for learning foreign languages, according to which, within 16 lessons, you can master communication skills in a foreign language!
A well-known polyglot has simplified the English language learning program as much as you can imagine. Pupils, in the first lesson, do not learn the alphabet, and then the well-known and incomprehensible 44 sounds of English phonetics! The first lesson begins with a kind of warm-up - it is proposed to realize what has kept you from mastering a foreign language so far. Laziness, lack of incentive, lack of free time, the wrong approach to learning the language, which scared more than pulled into further language learning - these are all quite common reasons.
This is the main advantage of the course proposed by Petrov, it is a minimum of time spent, only 16 lessons, a minimum of complex and voluminous grammar, which creates complete “chaos”.
So, the 1st lesson: in fact, in communication we use three forms: affirmation, negation, question, and this applies to any language. We want to either affirm something, or ask something, or if we do not agree with something, therefore, we deny it.
Here, some more understandable scheme begins to take shape:
|
Statement |
Negation |
However, what we want to ask, say or refute - is, was or will be? There is also a temporary requirement. Based on it, we get the following table:
Here is the table offered by Dmitry Petrov:
This table includes the three tenses most commonly used in English: Present ( present simple), Future (Future Simple), Past (Past Simple). They are not only the most used in colloquial speech, but also quite easy to use. As a rule, with an accessible explanation, these tenses rarely cause difficulties.
Let's find out what these three English times are and why Petrov included them in the first lesson as basic ones. Watch the first video tutorial online.
present simple
present simple- is used when we are talking about ordinary or regularly repeated actions. For example: daily routine, some habits, some regular activities.
For example:
Every week, I want to visit a friend.
I visit my friend every week.
My dad drinks coffee in the evenings.
My father drink coffee every evening.
Past Simpe is formed very easily, let's take any verb as an example.
Let's say the verb to write - to write
In the infinitive, only the particle to disappears, while the verb itself remains unchanged in all persons except she (she), he (he) - in these persons, s is added to the verb:
I WRITE
YOU WRITE
HE, SHE WRITES
WE WRITE
YOU WRITE
THEY WRITE
To form a question and a negation, we use the auxiliary verb DO (Does - for she, he).
past simple
past simple- denotes an action that took place at a certain time in the past, the time for performing this action has already expired. Usually, using this time, we indicate the moment at which the action was performed, for example: three days ago (three days ago), in 2000 (in 2000).
Time is also formed very easily: we add d to the verb in the infinitive.
He, she are no exception!
For example, take the verb - to imagine (to imagine)
I IMAGINED
YOU IMAGINED
HE, SHE IMAGINED
WE IMAGINED
YOU IMAGINED
THEY IMAGINED
We use the auxiliary verb DID to form a question and a negation.
future simple
Future simple - simple future tense, denotes an action that will take place in the future, often in an indefinite future.
The Future simple is formed with the word WILL before the verb, of course, without the to particle.
There are no changes in the verb itself.
For example, the verb to learn is to learn
I WILL LEARN
YOU WILL LEARN
HE, SHE WILL LEARN
WE WILL LEARN
YOU WILL LEARN
THEY WILL LEARN
To form a question and a negation, we use the already known Will.
When translating into Russian, auxiliary words like those listed: DO (DOES), DID, WILL are not translated.
In fact, these times are important to know, and they should not cause difficulties. THE MAIN THING IS TO BRING THEIR USE, IN SPEECH, TO AUTOMATISM . To do this, you need to devote 5 minutes every day several times a day, in order to learn and use without difficulty. “The regularity of repetition is more important than the amount of time you spend on studying…” - says the polyglot.
The table of times presented above is no more complicated than the multiplication table, and we must know it as well as the multiplication table. You need to bring the table of times to automatism. Here is the main task after the first lesson.
It is also suggested to learn the following verbs:
- love
- work
- live live
- start
- finish ["fɪnɪʃ] finish
- open ["əʋpən] open
- close
- think [Ɵɪŋk] to think
- come come
- see see
- go go
- know
Here, and all the task that you need to do. Yes, yes, there will not be a long list of exercises.
All the best in your study. And remember, Dmitry Petrov's method of learning English can only work if you work.

"Polyglot. English course»- the first season of the intellectual reality show on TV channel "Russia - Culture" aired from January 16 to February 9, 2012. Dmitry Petrov's program, broadcast on one of the main TV channels in the country, teaches all viewers and participants to quickly master the language, which can be used immediately after the first lesson.
Dmitry Petrov- a connoisseur of more than 30 languages of the world, an excellent psycholinguist, simultaneous interpreter, and a methodologist for the rapid introduction of the language into the minds of students. His book "Magic of the Word" has long broken records for the circulation of books of educational content. His technique really gives excellent results in a short time. Comfortable learning a new language for Dmitry Petrov is the top priority in the presentation of the material. He teaches ordinary expressions and words, and then reinforces the complex turns of speech of a foreign language.
There are 8 students in a group. All students either do not know the language being studied at all, or, at best, they have vague memories of the school curriculum. Already in the first lesson, they begin to communicate in the language. With mistakes, with long pauses, with tension, but progress is noticeable immediately. Everyone can watch lessons and learn - like a child who goes to elementary grades, and the pensioner sitting at home.
Your main task for yourself Dmitry Petrov considers not only machine learning, but also memorization for many years.
The program consists of 16 episodes, each episode lasts about 45 minutes - this is quite long time for the lesson, so it is necessary to follow very carefully every minute of this precious and intellectual show. Viewers notice progress literally from the second or third transmission. Each next lesson reinforces the material covered and gradually moves on to new grammatical and lexical material.
Transfer “Polyglot. Learn English in 16 hours!" very useful in our difficult time, when foreign language lessons are quite expensive for ordinary person, and not everyone succeeds in learning on their own.
Dmitry Petrov about the success of my students: “During the intensive course that I offer, I try to create a fireproof store of knowledge in students, which, at the most, can serve as a good basis for continuing classes, and at least ensure that the language will never again be perceived as a foreign language. , will call positive emotions and, if you return to it even after some time, you will not have to start learning it again from scratch. But, of course, in order to use it effectively, additional regular classes will be required.
