I found a rather interesting clip on YouTube where British polyglot Daniel Tammet learns Icelandic well enough to appear on live television in just a week. Enjoy!

Daniel Tammet did it again - learning a language in a week - this time with German.
Here's an interview with him in the German weekly Spiegel: Spiegel article Did anyone see him on TV on Monday? Edited by urubu on 03 March 2009 at 9:01pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Is there anyone who would like to translate the German article into English? I'd love to read it, but I can't read German. So if there is anyone who wants practice translating or just enjoys doing it, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Olympia If you open http://babelfish.yahoo.com/?fr=bf-res and type in the articles link address into where it says Translate a web page and choose German to English, you will get a translated page, give or take some strange grammatical observations. :-) But you will understand it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
