Today I’m chatting with @Wouter Corduwener, a Dutch guy who has conversational ability in 20 to 30 languages. There’s nothing fake here – he’s dedicated his life to getting really good at multiple languages and is a true hyperpolyglot. Now he’ll be the first to admit that he isn’t fluent in all of these languages, but he does have a genuine basic conversational ability in at least 23 languages and more advanced conversational ability (or fluency) in at least 6 languages. He’s a really impressive guy and I hope you enjoy our conversation!
Here’s a list, in order, of the languages he speaks in our interview: English, Mandarin, Italian, Portuguese, French, Thai, German, Korean, Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Dutch, Afrikaans, Spanish, Catalan, Vietnamese, Russian, Swedish, Danish, Jamaican Creole, Buryat, Japanese, and Greek. He also speaks Ukrainian, Hindi, Arabic, Farsi, Indonesian, Hebrew, and Turkish but forgot to speak those here.
