Cameron can count from 1 to 20 by pronouncing the numbers in reverse

A 10-year-old from Scotland is able to talk backwards without stuttering and mis-pronouncing words.

Cameron's father has captured the boy on camera last year, and this video of him recently went viral. He is able to recite entire sentences fluently.

In order to prove that his backwards-English is fluent, he needs an iPad app that reads out reversed speech. He tells us his name and talks about playing with his bike, before he is given a test.

He is asked to say “I'm going to Canada for my summer holidays” in reverse and he has no problem doing so. His dad apparently learned about his skill after he had already tried it at school, with his friends.

I am sold by the time he says “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” backwards – the title of the “Mary Poppins” song. Cameron can also count backwards from 1 to 20.
