I have never heard her speak good English? Is she fluent, or can she only say a couple of words?

Thanks

  1. It doesn’t matter if she spoke either English or German to gwb because he only speaks Cowboyese!

  2. Yes I heard her talking in english on tv today.

  3. She doesn’t have to..she is a head of state and speaks her own language…what about Americans speaking at least oneforeign language?

  4. She speaks enough English to make a prepared public statement, folow an everyday discussion or understand what an English-speaking counterpart is saying at a press conference - which means her English is way better than that of her predecessor. But the language she speaks fluently and feels most at home with is Russian - she was a scientist in Eastern Germany before the fall of the Iron Curtain, and you needed and practised Russian a lot back then.

  5. Most countries in the world REQUIRE students to study and speak English. Unlike the dummies we graduate, most countries look to a second language as a plus - not a pain in the butt……

    She speaks it just fine…..
