Norwegian traveler in search of nomadic tribe in Tibetan areas

　　As Aamot met people from different countries, he slowly began realizing he could speak several languages. Eventually, he came to understand he knew English, Norwegian, Spanish, German, French, Swedish, Danish and Mandarin.

　　"The words were generally there; I‘d know the word for bowl - wan - and table - zhuozi - but abstract concepts like humor, irony and stupidity these things took time to get," Aamot says.

　　He also said he would instinctively respond in whichever language he was spoken to but wouldn‘t realize if others changed languages mid-conversation.
