10 year old speaks 11 languages! – including swahili
August 24, 2009 by Admin
Arpan Sharma, 10, from The Blue Coat School, Edgbaston, Birmingham, has reached the final of a national language contest for the second year. Arpan speaks his mother tongue Hindi at home, learnt four languages at school and has been using interactive, multimedia CD-ROMs for the others.
Amazing story, interesting he adds the fact that he had some challenges picking up the Swahili Language
Interesting quote from the Dean
It certainly makes children able to appreciate language more and makes them realise that it’s not something that’s simply spoken by ‘funny foreigners’.
