Ioannis Ikonomou, who works as a translator for European Commission, speaks 21 of the 24 official languages of the EU fluently. The only three he doesn’t speak fluently are Maltese, Irish and Estonian. In addition he also speaks fluently Swahili, mandarine Chinese, Benghali, Hebrew, Russia, and Arabic, as well as a number of dead languages such as Latin and old Church Slavonic. To keep up his fluency he chats with people all over the world in their native language.
He habitually writes all his notes in Chinese to keep himself in practice writing the characters.
