Brilliant Multilingual Street Selling Kid - A True Slumdog Hero!

Watch this amazing young child from Mumbai display his multi-linguistic brilliance. From a life of selling items on the streets of Mumbai, this young lad has acquired the ability to converse and sell items in various languages. He also has a good knowhow of his surroundings and even his online fame, though he's modest.

Watch and be inspired. Let's not feel sorry for him, it would only demean his brilliance. Let's rejoice on the fact that he is made much more than the most of what he was provided. He is healthy, smiling and bright-eyed. Perhaps this video will allow us to reach out to him and others like him, so that aspects of poverty, lack of education and poor/unethical working conditions can be abolished.

Thanks for viewing, and here he is at a younger age: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJkjfG4hFU :)

Lastly, this video was not recorded by me.

I'm in India and we have many things to be proud if but certainly this is NOT one of them. This is guy is not a multi-linguistic . He had to memorize few sentences from many languages so that he could impress and sell his stuffs to them. It's rather sad that he should have been in school getting real education. Don't just be be proud of everything you see happening in our land. Think rationally what else we have to show the world with a pride.

@bamf809 I consider someone Bi-lingual when he is able to speak 2 languages fluently with an native accent. I can speak my native language fluently but I have a strong accent and for that very reason, I am not Bilingual. But I guess we all set different standards for eachother.

Leave him alone he's trying to work. Tourists

@anutotti I'm just trying to straighten some people's thought. I'm not saying the kid is bad or incapable of being a real multilingual. But think about it - this is guy is unfortunate to sell stuffs while he should be 'enjoying' school. It's shame for our nation that because of whatever reasons a person born in our land to poor parents can't go to school and sells stuffs to feed himself. I can't be proud of that. A single person can't help him - it's our economy that should be blamed. Got it?

@ariforu Why don't you help him out, By sending him to school or giving him some bucks ???? ...

These kids most prob. dont have the kind of money to go to a school like others normal kids. At least he is doing what he is doing with pride and he is pretty good at it, I have seen even older men who beg in the streets instead of working. !

This is the real world dude.!

I want to buy what he sells!! hahaha to me it doesn't matter if he know only a few sentences, it's true, he's not multilingual, but what he does is pretty well! Todos tratamos de hacer mercadotécnia de alguna forma, esto lo vemos siempre en televisión y nos compramos todo.

@bamf809 We are missing the point here. That kid learned things that are required to sell his stuffs to foreigners. He probably knows only the introductory part that which be sufficient to impress people. He shouldn't be selling in the streets in the first place. He should be in school instead. I can understand he is good at what he is doing. Real education could make him a business magnet or a professor of language living in the street and speaking 10 lines of french won't.

@ariforu

Well he is at the very least Bi-lingual. But you can't be sure wether or not hes really not fluent in some of the others.
