Polyglot: what are tey and who can be one? Some polyglots, who can speak quite a few languages,

may seem especially talented. Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese American liguist, could speak seven

languages and more than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak 10 languages. A

famous Italain named Guiseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30

to 40 languages. Polyglots are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Doner is living proof

that anyone can try to be one.

As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in

just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One

day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realized he could put them together to make

sentences! He started cooking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practice, and then he

decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a vedio of

himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote

nice comments on his vedios and gave him advice. Tim love it.
