Stuart Jay Raj was asked to discuss whether the ability to learn languages is a 'gift' that some people have and others don't, or whether it's something that everyone has the capacity to do.

Questions covered include -
Given that we are entering into the AEC - ASEAN Economic Community, What languages should we be learning?

Why is it that Thai kids are always ranked last or near last when it comes to learning languages and motivation towards learning?

What can we do to improve how we learn language?

Stuart demonstrates knowledge in Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, Jawi, Thai, Lao, Danish, Hindi, Sanskrit and other languages and shows how this foundation can help leverage the learning of other languages.
