Contact Info
ziadyfazah@yahoo.com.br (021)2557 9153 Home Phone Number (021)9602 3067 Cell Phone I am working on his tv appearance on Brazilian and European tv. Copy is at his brothers house in the south of Brazil. Anyone who has any doubts Mr Fazah has invited any and all to send e mail or phone questions. He is also looking to appear on any and all American TV shows to test his skills and if anyone knows anyone please share the wealth and lets get him on a show. Like I said, don't be shy, the country code from the US to Brazil is 011 55 21 then the number from elsewhere I don't know. Please call if you want to see for yourself or write. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Perhaps you Walshy :) Dave M delivered as promised, a home phone number no less. Anybody who calls him though, just make sure what the local time in Brazil is. I don't think Mr. Fazah would be too enthusiastic talking to somebody trying to challenge his linguistic skills at 3 in the morning

I'm sure we're all appreciative Dave M - maybe once and for all the myth of Fazah can be settled. I personally believe it to be true - maybe I don't believe every single thing said about him, but I'll say I believe he speaks a higher number of languages than virtually everyone.
Ohh, and for the record translator2, Korean, even fully in Hangul is not always written as it sounds - there are numerous pronunciation shifts depending on liason and meaning. Edited by andee on 16 December 2005 at 10:16pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Brazil time in Rio is 3 hours ahead of standard Eastern US NY time.

Mr Fazah kindly replied to me with additional information. Basically the only language he speaks regularly is Portuguese. He speaks best the following languages : Arabic,French,English,German, Spanish,Italian, Russian, Hebrew, Persian, Chinese, Swedish, Danish, Portuguese, Japanese and Norwegian.
He would need a week of preparation to be tested on television for the other languages. He does not have time to maintain his languages. He learned the exotic languages with material from Lebanon's public libraries. He is not learning any new languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I hope doesn't mean he's losing his languages, if he can't maintain them. Did he mention if he needs to maintain his languages? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
