New Zealand journalist, Harold Williams (1876–1928) could speak over 58 languages, including English and Old Irish, German, French, Hungarian, Czech, Albanian, Serbian, Rumanian, Swedish, Basque, Turkish, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, Yoruba, Coptic, Egyptian, Hittite, and other dialects. By the end of his life, he had studied the Bible in 26 languages, including Zulu, Swahili, and Hausa. At the Treaty of Locarno in December 1925, he was able to talk to every delegate of the League of Nations in their own language. 4 Likes

He is simply a genius... Learning a new language at adulthood is a commendable feat and it's more difficult to learn it when you don't even live amidst the speakers... This guy didn't learn one but 57 languages... You deserve to be celebrated I have a female friend that has this flair of easily picking up new languages... She has lived in four different states and she can speak their languages fluently. |
