    It's interesting the further we go in time the fewer languages they speak

      I could not really find a video on Clinton speaking German, apart from one or two very basic sentence after his English speech

    A number of American colleges - especially the Ivy Leagues -used to require knowledge of Latin & Greek in order to graduate - which is why earlier presidents listed themselves as trilingual.

    1:10 Andrew Johnson was illiterate until he met his wife who taught him how to read & write 📝 2:07 Calvin Coolidge's wife taught deaf children & I thought I read where they communicated together in sign language but it seems she taught lip reading so he may not have known ASL

    I'm surprised Kennedy didn't speak French.
    He was part of Boston's élite, where many people spoke French. Furthermore, his wife spoke French fluently.

      @nicholasharvey1232 He learned that just before his speach. If Taylor Swift or Madona says "Bonjour Montréal" at the beginning of their show, that doesn't mean they speak French.

    I think this is just my opinion but I feel like in the states it should be like Canada. Whoever is the leader has to be bilingual with the second language of their country. For example our Prime Minister speaks English and French so I feel like the president should speak English and Spanish.

    I heard that Bill Clinton knows Mandarin, as does Hillary, and they have been known to communicate with each other in Mandarin when they don't want bystanders listening in on their conversation.
    I knew Barack Obama spent time in Indonesia and thus might have known Indonesian, but I would have guessed that he also had knowledge of Swahili or another East African language through his Kenyan father.
