languages
When he started listening to Hebrew rap music
Detailed reading
2 Do you think that Jim would say that polyglots a “especially talented”？ Explain.
No, because Tim feels that language represents a cultural world view and it would benefit everyone to learn more than one language. Since it’s something that he wishes everyone would do, it means that he doesn’t think that being a polyglot requires any special talents.
3 Underline the ways that Tim Doner used to learn foreign languages.
When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realised he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew.
Tim loved it. He could actually communicate with people! After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn, and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages,
includingChinese.

As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realised he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew.Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments on his videos and gave him advice.

Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. “Open up your mind to the fact that language represents a cultural world view," says Tim. “You can translate words easily, but you can't quite translate meaning." Or, as Nelson Mandela said, “lf you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head, lf you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”
