SleepyPolyglot

SleepyPolyglot, Michael Simpson, in real-life, is the Founder of the LanguageLearning Directory and Head Admin. He wanted to create a fully editable directory of all language learning resources, complete with reviews, prices, and services. He wrote the skeleton of the written portion of the website first before advertising it heavily, giving people a strong basis for how to continue to build upon it.

Despite the name, he is not a true polyglot, being fluent merely in English. He has a high level speaking ability in Spanish, conversation in French and spoken Mandarin Chinese, and speaks enough German to get by. He learns languages but has a hard time focusing on learning, with several ongoing book projects

He has a YouTube channel where he makes language-specific videos, including any and all 90-Day Challenges he takes. He will not write in other languages on the Wiki due to his inability to write at a fluent level, which he believes is the necessary requirement for making foreign-language content for the Directory.

He has written and self-published six books, five of which consist of only poems and a few short stories, and one being a novel. He has a draft complete of a book on how to learn Spanish while working retail, but put it on hold to learn French at the beginning of 2018. The Wiki became an idea at the beginning, and started the project when he was supposed to be studying Mandarin for a 90-Day Challenge, while trying to think of side projects to do to help his writing.
