I'm bummed that Daniel is moving :( Which means you probably won't visit here--so there will be no Multilingual Teen in Chicago.

I've never read anything about myself on the internet - it's cool.

I think he's quite proficient in those languages because he lives in an area of Germany located near Belgium and Holland, and he still makes trips to Israel and interacts with all types of people.<BR/><BR/>He's a lucky guy--I'd like to have a brain like that :DMargaret Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421277669200495407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983828.post-76569144858052083912007-10-06T23:43:00.000-05:002007-10-06T23:43:00.000-05:00You call that boy a polyglot and you shake his han...You call that boy a polyglot and you shake his hand!<BR/><BR/>Though my linguistic brain would love to listen to his various languages (let's go to my imaginary world where I speak all languages) and determine if he really is proficient in so many tongues. Still, medium-level expression in so many languages would be highly beneficial.<BR/><BR/>Someone better give the UN a heads up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983828.post-25098884569122066622007-09-27T14:07:00.000-05:002007-09-27T14:07:00.000-05:00Part of it is that he's lived in various countries...Part of it is that he's lived in various countries while he's been young, so it was easier to learn those languages. I also think he has a gift for language, as do some other people, though I think sometimes people can learn a language if they *have* to in order to survive.Margaret Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421277669200495407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983828.post-41976267770926382782007-09-26T04:12:00.000-05:002007-09-26T04:12:00.000-05:00Yeah, multilingual is a very fitting term for such...Yeah, <B>multi</B>lingual is a very fitting term for such linguistic genious! Wow, that really IS impressive. Wish I spoke that many different languages <I>fluently</I>.<BR/><BR/>Do you think that some people are more 'gifted' when it comes to learning new languages; you know, like it's easier for some to immediately pick up the phonetic aspects of a given language, the grammatical rules, etc.?Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650724555993982942noreply@blogger.com
