Does anyone know what his method is, other than the listed used of iPhone applications and the mountain of books
he is featured with in the photo? I am very curious as to how he learns so much, so quickly. 15 hours a day is also a stunning amount for a high school student, given homework and class time (although I tend to take seriously exaggerated figures with a lot of ease, maybe he studies less, or economizes his homework time better than I did, etc...) Anyhow, his amazing skills in very different languages don't cease to impress me and I just wanted to know how I could improve my own studying methods with his technique. Tim, if you are reading this, and don't mind sharing, it would be much appreciated! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

"When school is out, Timothy said, he spends up to 15 hours a day studying, teaching himself the rudiments of a language in two or three weeks."
I think he is talking about days he doesn't have school like weekends or summer break. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am a high school student and I never ever have that much time. I wonder though even if
I did whether I could sound as great as him. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Tim was just recently on the today show, but the site only seems to stream in the U.S.A. only. In other words I was not been able to see the video. :-( Hulu 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There's a radio interview with Tim on the BBC, here's the address (hopefully). They test him a little bit in French and Mandarin.

Thanks. This is a neat, short interview. Definitely worth listening to. This kid has found his genius. I wonder what he will do in the future with this tremendous ability. 1 person has voted this message useful |
