About this person
Born in Novomoskovsk in 1958, Petrov trained at Moscow State Linguistics University's Translation School and built a career shuttling between languages in real time. By 2012 he had codified his accelerated method into a teaching system - Polyglot 16 - and opened his own center in Moscow. That same year Russia-K gave him a reality show under the same name, putting his technique on national screens and turning a working interpreter into a broadcaster. He still teaches at his alma mater's Department of Translation Studies, splitting time between the lectern, the studio, and a growing library of coursebooks and mobile apps that carry the 16-hour promise to anyone with a screen.
