Frans Timmermans speaking 6 languages
in a human rights video I already knew that our minister for foreign affairs had worked as a diplomat in Russia and had learned Russian on the job, but as it turns out, the man is a true polyglot and can converse in seven languages (of which he speaks six in this video - the seventh is Limburgish, a regional language spoken in the Netherlands - his accent in Dutch also reflects the Limburg accent). He speaks English, French, German, Russian, Italian and Dutch in this video. Particularly his English is standout for a foreigner. I am very impressed. (And as a foreign minister he will put this to good use...) 7 persons have voted this message useful |
