Wow, great story.

They left out the part of him teaching English in Korea (while smoking pot and defiling otherwise virginal local women)… but that’s ok.

I want to know more about his linguistic abilities. Which languages did he speak and to what extent?

On a related matter, the ability to gain (and abuse) people’s confidence in a number of different languages is something quite intriguing to me.
