Hello
I thought that crunching a dozen of languages require to be at least 25 or more, but this boy from belgium is like 17 or so, and he can speak the following :
Chinese (Mandarin)
Taiwanese
Italian
German
French
Dutch
English
Spanish
Toechew (Chaozhou dialect)
All at basic fluency
And he is learning Japanese and Arabic (pretty well actually)
He says that he can learn a given language for 5 houres daily without any tediousness .
Cheak out his channel on youtube

Loki is one of my You Tube friends and we comment each other's videos. His language knowledge is very impressive and I can recommend watching his videos.
