Timothy Doner looks like an average student
in his T-shirt and jeans. But there is something
very special about him. He speaks 20 languages.
He doesn't speak all of them equally well, but he
is very comfortable in many of them. He feels most comfortable with Hebrew, Farsi, French, and
Arabic. At any one time, he is studying three to
four languages.
Videos of him are going around the Internet.
In one video, he is riding in a taxi and talking to a
Haitian taxi driver in French. In it, he is telling the
driver that he wants to learn Creole, a language of
Haiti. In another he is speaking Russian with the
owners of a video store in New York, where he lives.
In another, he is speaking Farsi with the owner of a bookstore. He is asking the Farsi speaker for more information about that language. In other videos, he is studying Mandarin or discussing the similarities between Hebrew and Arabic with native speakers of these languages. He also speaks Urdu, Indonesian, Swahili, and Ojibwe, an American Indian language.
Doner spends almost all his time trying to
learn languages. To learn some languages, he takes
classes. To learn others, he studies on his own. He
always looks for opportunities to practice with native
speakers. Sometimes he uses video chats to practice
with native speakers in other countries. He uses
other methods to improve his language ability: He
memorizes the lyrics of songs or watches movies in
other languages. He really enjoys himself. He thinks
that language helps you connect to other people.
When he speaks another language, he feels like a
different person.
Interestingly, he doesn't study Spanish. For him,
Spanish isn't challenging enough.

Reading – About my family
Dear Marta,
I’m going to tell you about my family. I live with my little sister, mum, and dad. We live in London, although I grew up in Lancaster, a beautiful city in the North of England.
My dad’s name is Pierre. He’s from France, and he speaks English and French. When he was young, my mother went to France on a student exchange, and they met there. A few years later, my dad moved to England and married my mum. He works as a French teacher. He’s very tall –much taller than my mum– and athletic. He’s got short blonde hair and blue eyes.
My mum’s name is Anna. She’s English. She’s quite short, and she’s got long curly brown hair and brown eyes. She works at a drug store opposite our home. She can speak French too!
My sister Julia is 18 years old, and she’s got the same color of hair and eyes as my father. She loves playing the piano and dancing. She’s very talented, and she would like to be a professional musician.
I’ve got short blonde hair like my dad, but brown eyes like my mom. We all love playing board games together on Friday evenings, and we always order pizza. Our favourite game is Monopoly. Oh, I almost forgot…we’ve also got a pet cat, Snowball. She’s all white and has got a lot of fur. She likes sleeping on me.
Write back soon. Please, tell me about your family too.
Love
Jonathan
