This young man possesses such a determined, educated, humble, and adventurous spirit! He seizes every moment to grow and learn, pursuing what he loves to do 👏
-
I speak Spanish, English, Italian and learning French and german. It's a blessing to have the means to travel and only worry about improving your language skils. Not everyone has that opportunity 😪
-
He clearly has DRIVE and links language learning with EXPERIENCES...PLUS honestly i think he does have a gift! He is an impressive young man.
-
I'm 23 years old now and still struggling with English. So embarrassing 😂. Thank you for your video, Prof Tim and TJ Huizar. Very motivational video
-
I had false starts with multiple languages, but I am now learning my first language truly, because im now living in a country that doesnt speak my language. Its such a fascinating thing to learn not just the language, but the way of life that goes with it. It's a mind opening experience. Thank you for the motivation!
-
I can speak Japanese and Chinese and French quite well,I’m teach myself English now. Just like he said if you learn this language you get to love it, that’s the key 🎉
-
I speak three languages: Oromo, English, and Amharic ( Oromo and Amharic are from Ethiopia). I also love Turk films I’m addicted to it, so my goal is to learn their language. Foreign films hits very different. I love Turk culture. Hopefully, I can watch one day without subtitles. His story is so inspiring. Learning about people’s cultures is beautiful and unifying no matter how different we are. When you learn people’s language, it shows how you care about them and recognize cultural diversity and appreciation for their culture. Thank you for this. Keep up the good work.

This young man is an inspiration 🌈🙏 God bless him !!!

Seeing young people who have an insane drive to learn foreign languages is such a massive inspiration, and myself being 27, I have tried my hand in dabbling with 35 languages - languages are addicting 🤣 (conversational in at least 9 of them, but can read Arabic, Persian, Greek, and Russian - learning to read Georgian and Armenian) and it's such a motivational feeling when conversing among people who are capable of expressing themselves in other languages besides English.
-
I’m fluent in English and Spanish and I’m learning French in school and Korean on my own. I hope to become fluent in those two one day, and maybe even learn other languages!
-

He was only learning languages. No other things to be worried about! Being able to travel around the world is an advantage as well.

TJ is so eloquent at his young age. Quite talented, goes without saying.

Awesome! I'm a fluent Spanish and English speaker, I'm learning Portuguese at school and Russian by my own. Really fun.

I’m impressed that he knows of the Garifuna! No one knows of our people outside of Central Americans.
