Steve Kaufmann

A German* [sic.] linguist told by a friend... I am not sure if I can appreciate how cool he is yet, I haven't listened him speaking all the languages. I can tell his English *almost* doesn't carry any German accent though (the characteristic robotic rhythm is still there, occasionally). IMO, in this age, the number of languages which one should speak is 5, and language learning is only a leisure activity for memory-training, we need some other activities to train our brain to think. * Another friend said he is Canadian, and this is a verified piece of truth. LOL

haha... really? How come my friend said he is a German with a Cantonese wife?

Haha, I am convinced he is Canadian. He wrote that on his web site. I just think it is funny that I have to be critical next time when someone told me a piece of info as simple as a "nationality".
