I enjoyed it. I assume the initial scene will make more sense later on?

I saw you had a thorough review from an actual editor, so I have nothing really useful to add.

I was drawn in and would certainly continue to read the story.

I don’t think Mark couldn’t know that many languages.
I base this on nothing actual…

That initial chapter will be a very important component of the story. I'd never think to just add a gratuitous scene for shock's sake.

Well, maybe sex, but I'm obsessed over sex. 😊

Incorrect! I want as much input from the 'common man' -- not to imply you are common -- as I get from professionals.

I was drawn in and would certainly continue to read the story.

Wonderful! Then my work has hit home.

That's why he's so special. That's why he leads this team.

Among his languages are several dead ones: Sumerian, Sanskrit, and of course Latin (of which, some would argue isn't really dead.)

He's proficient in nearly every dialect of Chinese. The guy is the single best linguist on the planet.

I got curious:

Ziad Fazah
....the most languages spoken by one person is 58 – a record that was held by Ziad Fazah in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1998.

So, 62 is not impossible.

Um, also,

So, 62 is nie onmoontlik nie.
Enti, 62 nyɛ nea entumi nyɛ yiye.
Pra, 62 nuk është e pamundur.
ስለዚህ, 62 የማይቻል አይደለም.
إذن 62 ليس مستحيلا.
Այնպես որ, 62-ն անհնարին չէ։
গতিকে, ৬৮ অসম্ভৱ নহয়।
Ukhamajj 62 marajj janiw jan lurañjamäkiti.
Beləliklə, 62 qeyri-mümkün deyil.
O la, 62 tɛ ko ye min tɛ se ka kɛ.
সুতরাং, 62 অসম্ভব নয়।
Beraz, 62 ez da ezinezkoa.
つまり、62は不可能ではありません。
O lea la, 62 e le mafai.
Mar sin, chan eil 62 do-dhèanta.
Jadi, 62 bukan tidak mungkin.
Quindi, 62 non è impossibile.
Демек, 62 мүмкін емес.
所以,62也不是不可能。
Kahoo, 62 ha e khonehe.
Janten, 62 henteu mustahil.
Ita, 62 non potest.
எனவே, 62 சாத்தியமற்றது அல்ல.
ดังนั้น 62 จึงไม่ใช่เรื่องที่เป็นไปไม่ได้

...and so on. 🤣😂😂🤣😍
