Click here to see an incredible video about Daniel Tammet, a language savant who learned Icelandic in a week. 

Yes. A week. That is insane.

Mr. Tammet is a writer and linguist with what is known as high-functioning autistic savant syndrome, and he has an outrageous aptitude for languages. 

Don’t let it discourage you, though! His is an extraordinary gift. I am inspired in watching it by the miracles that can emerge from a human brain.
