Conversation between two polyglots from Kazakhstan and Japan garners millions of views

An 11-year-old Kazakh boy, fluent in four languages, has impressed internet users. Beknur Zhanibekuly was interviewed by famous Japanese blogger Yuji Beleza, and the video garnered millions of views. Despite his rare diagnosis, Beknur proves by his example that there are no barriers to self-improvement. He is currently fluent in Kazakh, Russian, English, and French. In the future, he dreams of mastering 10 languages, just like Yuji Beleza.

«In general, when you study the language of another country, you also learn its culture. He studies so many languages and develops comprehensively. He sees how things are in other countries, reads a lot about them, and it helps him,» said Beknur's mother Zaure Bektemissova.

Beknur excels in science classes while also embracing creativity. He has already won an English Olympiad, and became one of the finalists in the national selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021. In France, the duet of Alinur Khamzin and Beknur Zhanibekuly took eighth place. As many people admit, Beknur’s energy and his zest for life are truly inspiring.

«I started singing at the age of six, and my father took me to participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. I am confident that nothing in life is impossible! Any goal is always achievable,» shared school student Beknur Zhanibekuly.
