Multilingual Individuals
Charles Berlitz
(1914-2003); fluent in 32 languages -- As a child, Charles was raised in
a household in which (by his father's orders) every relative and servant
spoke to Charles in a different language: he reached adolescence
speaking eight languages fluently. In adulthood, he recalled having the
childhood delusion that every human being spoke a different language,
and wondering why he did not have his own language like everyone else
in his household. His father spoke to him in German, his grandfather in
Russian, his nanny in Spanish.
