Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen more. He's what is known as a polyglot. He also studies the development of minority languages. But he's more than a polyglot. He not only uses the languages fluently, but also knows about the culture of the languages very well. He can talk to native speakers comfortably in their own languages.

Matthew, who is from Manchester, England, is a_language_chameleon:_Germans think he's German! Spaniards think he's Spanish and Brazilians think he's Portuguese.

By his own account, Matthew has mastered a surprising number of languages by using abilities that we all possess: determination, enthusiasm and open-mindedness.
