Los Angeles teen Steven Tracy likes to learn languages. It took the 16-year-old five years to master 19 languages!
This has earned him the title of the world’s youngest polyglot. But he is still not satisfied.
The teenager’s wish to learn languages began in 2006 after completing Farsi lessons. He enjoyed it so much that he decided to become fluent in modern Arabic.
After that, there was no stopping him. Over the years, he has added Russian, Italian, Spanish, Persian, Swahili, Indonesian, and many others to his repertoire of languages. The list does not include the ones that he has taken up at school.
The most amazing part is that he has managed to learn all the additional languages on his own. The young polyglot begins by learning how to pronounce the alphabet correctly.
Then he teaches himself the correct grammar, develops his skills by reading newspapers and talking with native speakers, either in person or on internet chat rooms.
