    He's a naturally gifted linguist and he is passionate about what he does. He's also helped many other linguists reach their potential. And all the while, there are blatantly jealous people out there making remarks like, "well, he can't speak Zulu..." How about showing him the respect and recognition he deserves for being such a positive role model for linguists?

    His Greek was on point. I was kind of freaked out, because , most of the time, foreigners don't quite understand greek pronunciation, but this man gets it.
