Nigerian Girl Who Speaks 5 Foreign Languages At 22 by rabol(m): 3:14am On Feb 01, 2016
Hey guys!

I came across this video just now and decided to share. I just find it somehow inspiring, plus it awoke a kind of interest in me. Her name is Khafi Kareem, a Nigerian born and raised in the UK. I am not trying to exaggerate her abilities but i think the pace at which she grasped some of the languages is incredible. I mean, imagine having a language as one of your courses in school and then becoming this fluent in it after just a year.

Anyway, the main reason for posting this is to encourage others (like me) who might be interested in mastering languages too. Moreso, an interest group could also be created where folks interested in a particular language meet and learn while those who are experts already in such language serve as a kind of guide/tutor.

See the video below:

Well, I speak Yoruba and Hausa (to an extent) already. I served in Bauchi. Meanwhile, I've not had chance to spend much time in the East.

BTW, I don't understand why you kind of make that a prerequisite.

nice, cos the girl in question didnt grow up in Nigeria, assuming she did, she could have found it difficult to learn all foreign languages, so those of us that here should atleast learn the 3 major languages before talking of a foreign one, charity they say begins at home......lol
