Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

My friend from Kenya can speak about 20 languages. His first language is Swahili and his second language is English, but it is the Queen's English.Every once in awhile he will pronounce a word with the British pronunciation. He studied Latin and can figure out the root of words in any language.
He can speak Swahili, English, Spanish, German, Italian, and many tribal languages. He also lived in India for a couple of years and can speak that language fluently.
I forget the word you used to describe people who speak multiple languages, but I actually know one!
