The researcher collects data by interviews. The research subject is a polyglot who is 28 years old, mastering six foreign languages, consisting of Arabic, English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and German. The research concluded that the dynamics of mastering multiple foreign languages by a polyglot involve intrinsic motivation factors, consistency and determination, strategic approaches to learning, and strategies to maintain and expand mastery of foreign languages.
