I second bengalister as an italian, I can kind of understand what he says, but it’s just a grammarless mix of italian and spanish.

It may seem strange, but actually a lot of street kids I met in europe know simple memorizations of a stock “nice thing, cheap, buy one for pretty girl” in many languages. Clever, yes, genius, I don’t think.

Obviously, though, I agree that they should be in a school, not in the streets.

Well I understand English and the kid has obviously picked up English (not perfect but understandable) on the streets. Pretty clever.

Sorry to break the myth but i am french and i didn’t understand a word of what this boy said in French (so remove French from his spoken languages or maybe French Canadians can understand what he said). I have been to Egypt and seen much more impressive kids that could sing songs in many different languages.

hi there,

are you aware of someone creating a fund for his education ? If yes, I would like to contribute.

Thank you,
