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
@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.
@@simonrancourt7834 Also I'm surprised that none of the Cold War era Presidents learned Russian, as it would have been highly useful for diplomacy at that time...
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.
Возможно только простое, думаю что если знаешь больше языков, не можешь научиться их очень отлично, но например если знаешь два языка, можешь знать их лучшие.
You did my guy Jefferson dirty... English, French, Latin, Italian, Old English - oNe LaNgUaGeS

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
because they do not need more languages
English wasn’t a dominant language in the past as it is today
@@outforbeer yes, sure
24, going back to Washington, only spoke English.

So apparently John Quincy Adams didn’t speak English?

I would like to know their fluency/proficiency levels.
0:20 John Quincy Adams was US Ambassador to Russia which is why he learned Russian otherwise that would seem random 🇺🇸🇷🇺
Bill Clinton speaks German? Really??
0:24 Даже русский язык знает
Человек некоторое время жил в российской империи.
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.
I guess "Ich bin ein Berliner" doesn't count as being able to speak German...

Not enough presidents speaking Dutch imo.. great language, great people... large too.

What's up with Ancient Greek? 🧐
Obama speaks indonesian ? wtf..
He grew up in Indonesia
Trump: 4th grade English
Harris: Downs syndrome word salad English.
Trump is fluent in Gibberish.
George W. Bush be like; English or Spanish

ALL US presidents spoke Turkish as their first language.😊
oh my god does anyone see jimmy carter's language and bush jr
Obama speaks some good french as well I think
use your own original voice or ai voice. otherwise your channel will not be monetized
English is their first language so talking in it doesn't mean any thing wonderful 😂
Интересно, на каком уровне знал немецкий Билл Клинтон. Я-я, даст ист фантастиш?

I think it’s false Clinton could speak German or bush could speak Spanish. They used a few memorized sentences in some speeches but that’s it
Every legends amerikan presidents was only know english:Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Kennedi, Reagan and Trump
Why did they know italian ? It's pretty useless, i am saying this as italian.
I wonder if Trump didn’t study foreign languages, then what did he spend his whole life doing?😂
You would think someone who was involved in international business and has married two foreign women would pick up on another language.
1. It is " mister Trump", have some respect.
2. He is a business man. Do you do better ? Again, have some respect.
Greetings from Belgium ❤
It's almost as if there's more to life than studying foreign languages
Trump doesn’t even 2:15 really have a full grasp on the English language. Nevermind expecting him to know another language.
