Language barrier


 Breaking the language barrier

One person that I admire is Tim Doner, who is a senior at the Dalton School in New York City. He has studied around 20 languages. The reason of my admiration is because not only he had taught himself languages but he also broke the barrier of languages, knowing people from all languages, backgrounds and cultures and experimenting on how does people learn.


Polyglot: is a person who uses multiple languages. A polyglot may also be called a multilingual person; the label "multilingual" is used for communities as well as individual speakers.
