Well, I’m going to talk about an actor who is good at learning and speaking new languages. Actually, I don’t know much about him in person, but I know him from a movie in which which is called Once Upon a Time in the Middle East. He is actually an actor in that movie in which he plays the role of a manager and a waiter in the movie, in a restaurant which provides Chinese style food. I know that he speaks Chinese, very strongly, but of course that is not the natural, a national language. He speaks some of the dialects that is quite popular in China. He has teachers or interpreters or translators there right on the boat to teach him the new language Arabic. And also, he is quite good at English. So basically, he can speak at least three kinds of languages, Chinese, English, and Arabic. So the way he speaks Arabic is recognized, is highly recognized by people from the Middle East countries like Egypt, like Iraq, and I like him very much just because the language he speaks suits the character very much. And the way he speaks Chinese reminds people of those immigrants from China long time ago who moved to the southern part, the South Pacific to find their living.
