Many people their age still fight with thoughts what would they like to do in life, Bojan knew since he was little that languages were his calling and passion.
If the saying is true that the more languages you speak, the more you are worth, then Bojan is a golden goose! Young polyglot imitates the dialects faithfully, he speaks 9 languages fluently, and the one who beats all others.
He can put the words in the sentence backward with no problems. The ability only one out of million people have.
- Professors were amazed: what kind of student to we have? What is this? One of them asked me what do I eat? - Bojan said. It is all normal to him, he said that he absorbs languages like a sponge.
As a boy, he saw a boy his age speaking words backward. Amazed with this skill he tried to do it - and he thought that this was no exception since it was too easy.
However, he realized how rare that is. So much that he hasn't found anyone to talk to in the last 10 years.
THE CASE OF ANA ALSO RAISED QUESTIONS
When she was 10, Ana sang the entire song backward on a talent show. She discovered that she had the unusual talent through a game. During her family travel to the sea, she realized that she had this unusual skill. The words came out of her mouth backward with no trouble!.
With the upside down speech, as she calls it, she tried reading and writing and she succeeded. She is used to translating her language to the closest people because the turned words are like some foreign language to them.
Dr. Hecimovic explained that during the backward talk the frontal lobes of the brain are more active with people who have this ability and that is a good prerequisite for people to successfully master other languages. Some studies show that the talent is an indicator of the super-intelligence of the person who has it.
- Everybody can say I love you backward, but to speak or to read a novel backward. It is considered that only 2% of the people can do that - neurologist prof.dr.sc. Hrvoje Hecimovic said.
THE MOMENT TO REMEMBER
The crew of "Provjereno" made it possible for Bojan and Ana to meet, and that happened on one sunny afternoon in Trieste. Bojan knew that Ana is coming, and Ana knew that she will meet Bojan. Despite the certainty, the excitement was present nonetheless.
For the first time, the two spoke with someone who understood them without a translator. Not like a devil's language, nor Hungarian... simply - backward language.
The upside down language was fun until these common moments, they were attractions among friends because of it, they would make jokes. But this acquaintance brought a new dimension to them.
- I have never met someone who can do it. I've watched people on TV on some talent shows who can do it, but I am glad! I am glad that I am not the only one and I am happy that I can share this joy of speaking backward with someone! - Bojan said.
- It was really strange to me to talk like that because I really waited for someone who talks backward the same way as I do and here, it happened - Ana said through laughter.
Bojan and Ana said that they will certainly keep in touch after the meeting.
Now that they have found someone to talk to in this unique way, they won't be lost in translation for sure.
