Meet Mabou, 8 yr. old polyglot

 Mabou Loiseau

Can you imagine from one second meeting a human that can speak English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Haitian Creole, Japanese, and sign language fluently? And on top of that can play the piano, violin, guitar, harp, clarinet, conga, drums and the flute.

Well, likely that’s hard to imagine! Now bend your mind and add in the fact that New York native Mabou Loiseau is just 8-years-old, she is clearly a genius!
Growing up multi lingual obviously helped but it’s clear she was born with the chops to perform and soak up all knowledge. At just a year and a half she started repeating French words that had not been spoken by the family, that’s when they realised they needed to cultivate this little girls talent.
She came to national attention on the Katie Couric show and her segment can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5oPimuyFUE
