  World's Greatest Polyglot
Fazah, who has been living in Brazil for 21 years, is fluent in 56 languages, winning him a mention in the Brazilian edition of the "Guinness World Book of Records" as the world's greatest living polyglot.

 Mandarin chinese : how and why to learn it
Learning chinese is considered so difficult and so few people actually do it that it seems that if you say that you speak it the only attitude you're likely to meet is disbelief.
Too bad because on the face of it, this is probably the most difficult language you can learn (even the great Ziad Fazah says so), so it should also be the most chic.
About 800 mio speak it as their mother tongue, plus 200 mio as a second language.

 Omniglot - the blog » 2006 » August
There’s a lot of interesting discussion on the forum at How-to-learn-any-language.com about the extreme polyglot, Ziad Fazah, who lives in Brazil and speaks 58 languages.
Ziad’s contact details are given and a number of people mention that they have spoken to him and confirm that he speaks their language well, and that he has plenty advice to offer on language learning.
One comment, apparently from Ziad himself, that rings true with me is that there’s not a lot of money in being a polyglot, and that someone who speaks 10, 20 or 50 languages doesn’t usually get paid more than someone who speaks two or three.
