Talking about polyglots, everybody always think about Ziad Fazah: "He's the greatest
polyglot in the wolrd." But, an information known by very few people is that a brazilian called "Carlos Amaral Freire" has studied more than 120 languages. He lives in Brazil and is 79. There is an interview in Portuguese on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OLYPRpRlfM His short biography (in Portuguese): http://www.portuguesdobrasil.net/carlos_amaral_freire.htm He also wrote a book translating into Portuguese 60 poems from 60 different languages called "Babel de Poemas". 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Freire is mentioned in this thread as well as this one.
He seems to be a very interesting linguist. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's why I didn't find any results by searching "Carlos Amaral Freire", everybody
thinks that his name is "Carlos do Amaral Freire" or "Carlos de Amaral Freire". This ain't my fault. Sorry, anyway. Try to do that and you'll be unsuccessfully. Edited by Venustus on 02 October 2011 at 11:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

No worries, just helping you out. :-) Thanks for stating his name differently; I hadn't realized that was how he says his name. Edited by Journeyer on 02 October 2011 at 11:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
