This Kid Don't Need No Stinkin' Baby Einstein Videos

Sharma Every mom may think her kid is a genius, but the truth is, there are genuises and there are geniuses.

Meet Arpan Sharma, a British kid who speaks a language for every year of his age, plus one. He's 10 years old and he speaks English, Hindi,
Italian, German, Spanish, French, Thai, Swahili, Polish, Chinese Mandarin and Lugandan, the language of Uganda.

Arpan learned two languages at home, five from CD-roms and the rest at school.

Arpan wants to be a surgeon who travels around the world so he can speak to his unconscious patients in their native tongues while he slices them open with a scalpel.

He says Swahili and Chinese Mandarin were the hardest. I agree. I had a tough time with those two myself.
