A truly brilliant French polyglot with interesting personal stories for all of his
24(26) languages and quite a wide range of language families. Two more languages, Hebrew and Persian, are added later(see two more links below). His exceptional passion for learning languages and communicating with the people from other cultures and lands was quite inspirational and moving. From the video, it seems that he had worked as a teacher with students from various countries for many years.

Hi! In this video, I am practicing most of the languages I've studied so far. I am not very good at speaking many of them and actually I am not a 'hyperpolyglot' as one could expect in reading the title of the video. I am just a monolingual fond of learning various foreign languages. Your comments and suggestions written in various languages are very welcome. Thanks a lot!" 25 Hebrew 26 Persian He says that he is not a 'hyperpolyglot' but "just a monolingual fond of learning various foreign languages". I would say that he has given great video presentations of someone whose range of languages might be described as panglottic, a panglot. Perhaps any descriptive titles may not be as important to him as his life long journey itself with the languages in which he wanted to make the effort to communicate with the individuals he came in contact. With hearty encouragement and best wishes.... Edited by futurianus on 07 July 2014 at 10:30pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

As someone who has met him personally, I can confirm he has also practiced Dutch.

Actually I discovered this impressive polyglot through a Russian summary of his 24 language video.

We talked quite a bit in Chinese at the Polyglot Gathering. I'd say his Mandarin is even
more fluent in person than on the video. Definitely C1, possibly C2, can't tell because my Chinese is only B2 :-( 1 person has voted this message useful |
