When I heard he went to the University of Illinois I checked their programmes out. They host some summer language course teaching languages of the Muslim world (thus Tim's choices of languages). It seems like a truly excellent course but it's hard to join up if you are not a citizen unless you are already studying or living in the States as it is only a short course. Makes Tim's achievements all the more impressive! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Luca made an interview with Tim and posted it on his channel. You can listen to it

Has anyone messaged him and received a response? Unfortunately I've had no response.

No, I know that he had read the message for a fact. And it is true that he is not very active.

Somehow I doubt that he would have much time to respond to most, if any, messages. Between his traveling, school, many language studies, and Youtube channel, I'm sure that he keeps very busy. I wouldn't take it personally if he doesn't respond. He may browse this site, but I wouldn't be surprised if he no longer participated. Just within the first 10 pages of this thread about him, some called him a jerk, insinuated he was lying, called his language learning a "parlor trick", and also that he was making outrageous and misleading statements. Although some later apologized, I don't think this would encourage me to continue participating on a specific forum. I really did like the most recent Youtube interview between him and Luca where he was a little more specific about how he goes about learning his languages. That was probably helpful for those who have been wondering about his learning techniques. 7 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The second video I made for Tim, whilst I was in NYC is out on YouTube. We talk about his experience as a
French exchange student in Paris in French (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdNRq2kuVMk). I hope you enjoy it! :) Edited by Torbyrne on 15 July 2012 at 9:56am 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The only language I am sure Tim can speak is English.He knows a few sentences of the other 22 languages.I like his enthusiasm for languages but the truth is still the truth.
