I watched this on the news in Israel a few months ago and it fascinated me. I'm hoping that they do a follow up story to see how he is progressing at Gan and if anyone had found an explanation.

I watched the video and I believe that the child has been exposed to movies as a baby and that's why he speaks the language fluently he has made several mistakes in English when he was talking
Also it's not a British English it's an American English I do believe that there are some pieces of the puzzle that's missing.

That's what I thought I heard American English too even though on the video (and I only watched part of it), they said British English. I said there's no way he just picked it up. Somewhere he must have heard it, tv or whatever.

Not only that the video is brought to you by Amnon Levy and he's known to to be a liar or he twists fact around to make people look like idiots.

I was going to say Druzes (and I) believe in gilgul/reincarnation.
But there could be some rational explanation...

Have never heard that Amnon Levy is known to be a liar. Not in mainstream Israeli opinion anyway. He's controversial (lots of documentaries about how sephardim face discrimination), but no one has accused his facts of being wrong.
I saw the whole show long ago - there was no explanation. I dont believe the parents saw movies in English (why would they?) and even if they did, how come he doesnt know Arabic?
And if I recall the English was British, words like lorry etc.

I heard something about a neighbor speaking English or playing the tv. Maybe this child is very talented in learning languages

I heard a British accent - listen to the way he says tummy and water.
I also thought he was talking about the watering can above.
