He is not an interpreter at the UN but a modest carpet cleaner in Washington in the United States. But, since he was a child, he has taken a passion for learning languages and his case, extremely rare, has earned him a whole series of portraits in the press for two weeks.
Polyglot might have sufficed, but above 11 languages linguists speak of hyperpolyglot . This is the case of Vaughn Smith, 46, living in Washington. This carpet cleaner speaks 24 languages and has the basics of 41 languages in total. Something to make you dizzy. He is fully bilingual in English, Spanish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Russian, Czech, Portuguese, and Slovak. For the rest, it can hold sustained conservations in 16 other languages, such as French, Italian, Finnish, Hebrew, Japanese or even Norwegian. And he masters the basics of 17 other languages and dialects. And no, he is not an interpreter at the UN. Simply Vaughn Smith has loved languages since he was little.
It was when he met one of his French-speaking Belgian cousins that he decided to learn his first foreign language. " I was frustrated , he said to the Washington Post , frustrated not to understand a word of what he was saying, not to be able to engage in conversation with him, I said to myself 'I want this power' ". From there, he took out a subscription to the library and grabbed dictionaries and grammar books in French, then Portuguese, German, etc.
