Languages[edit]

@SteveStrummer: you wrote that “[i]n addition to his native English, French is fluent in Portugeuse [sic], French, and Mandarin Chinese”. The NPR article and interview you quote don’t say anything like that.

@197.237.57.193: you deleted Portuguese and added Spanish and Japanese, without giving any sources.

I've removed those claims. Are there any sources about French's language abilities? --Babel fish (talk) 12:52, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was wrong. I had another look at the source and corrected the article. NPR says:

“He speaks Mandarin, French and Portuguese.”

I put that into the article. However, NPR does not say that he is fluent in any of those languages, and there is nothing about Spanish and Japanese. --Babel fish (talk) 12:59, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
