Let me clear your doubts. Here is a very minute difference between these two words:.
Polyglot: a person who knows and is able to use several languages, these languages may or may not be foreign. This person can speak many languages besides his native language.
Linguist: a person skilled in foreign languages, these languages strictly are foreign. This person knows and studies other languages.
