I only know Dutch, English, German and Spanish. think he can get a good translator job. His Dutch and German seem almost free of dialect.

Jokes on him, in a few years we will all have perfect universal translators on our phones. It's like the genius astrophysicists working at Burger King.

@9 oh yeah ?! and when the translator battery dies, how are you going to ask for an outlet then ??!!
maybe you should learn sign language (actual words, mind you...!!)
but then again, when you play online games you only need about 100 words....
looks like the joke is already on you

He has to work on his Hebrew a bit.
But he's a helluva lot better than I am at all of the other languages!!!

I think it requires a certain mindset to learn that much, and to really be fluent in them. Just keeping French & Spanish separate is hard enough for me, inspiring this is.
