She knows a little of this, and a little of that.

And for a woman who has been here over 12 years or more, her English is lousy

she should be able to afford an English tutor.

through the same channels that brought all those other immigrants here that their 'son-in-law' talks about and disparages.

She met Trump when she was in her late 20's.

and being able to communicate in 5 and 6 is not uncommon for that part of the world and others with various languages spoken by overlapping populations.

During college years in California I was acquainted with a bunch of people who spoke several languages. Four was too ordinary to comment on. Six and seven were the upper range of what I ran into, comparatively few but not to the point of being strange.

There is little compelling language that she speaks more than a couple, which is a better achievement than many Americans but doesn't quite make her the linguistic genius that they bill her as.

She's the one that taught me any Hawaiian I know besides "Aloha."

It is on you-tube. They noted that in France and Italy she used the greetings, but then spoke English with the people she was interacting with. It seemed she would have used the languages for the conversations if she really spoke much of them.

was also supposed to update us on her immigration status many months ago now as well.

The republican family-values role model has a bigly number of skanky epithets.

you think that she could be working for a Russian intelligence agency.

makes you wonder...

Nabbed her a rich guy, who has his own problems with English. Otherwise, think Slovenian is still the real main one, and presumably the one she uses to converse with her parents who now live here and Barron from what I have read - sorry, no link for that.

I do think she has a bit more than a smattering in others, given growing up in an area that encouraged that. However, they are most probably Slavic varaiations, with some Italian thrown in due to her "career" in modeling.

But yes, useful as an FSB (KGB) operative.

that I bet you M speaks a fair amount of Russian since all kids who grew up in the Communist block when she did learned Russian in school.

My wife is Russian, we have many friends in Serbia who are of an age to have been schooled during soviet times, few speak Russian, though the Slavic root allows them to mostly 'get by' conversing in their own respective languages.

Similarly, in other "Communist block" countries, where we have travelled, only a minority of people speak Russian. They're more likely to be able to speak English, or German, in our experience?

However, your assertion would be correct when referring to former 'Soviet' states where Russian was given much higher profile.

generation to M.

My grandmother, whose first language was Polish, could converse with her Russian-speaking neighbor, each speaking their own language. The fine points of grammar are different, but the basic words have a lot in common so it's possible to get the general meaning even if you don't catch all the nuance.

He’s right. That’s some Trump class bullshit.

Very telling. He's right. You'd show off and start really talking.

So the more skills and "features" she can display the better I guess. What a shitty husband to snag, bet she wishes she got some out-of-the limelight billionaire instead.

"I thought she spoke a bunch of languages. She lied - wotta loser.. She's fired."

There had to have been better choices for her. The Dotard's other qualities sink any advantage his money might provide.

from "University in Slovenia." There is no such degree. According to the faculty at the University of Ljublijana, Melania dropped out during her freshman year.

The White House now claims that "she paused her studies" to pursue a modeling career.

...they immediately took down the website when media started investigating Melania's credentials

realized she plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech?
LOL

You see, BRAGGING about it and being able to ACTUALLY DO IT are two separate things. And I'm guessing that Melania and Orange Ass having the bragging in common. Has anyone seen her actually conversing in six languages?

Don't sell yourself short!

in English, French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Danish, Polish, Norwegian, and Danish. I concentrate on learning the important things first

he has to make her out like she is a multi-lingual architect - get real, she is the ultimate gold digger

Trump such a corrupt tool. For decades. Why did the MIC let this happen???

better war profits when chaos reigns.

Doesn't mean I'm fluent.

Malaria doesn't even speak good Murakin.

...college level in French and had to get a multi-language credential later, to teach. She is not at all fluent in French. She doesn't sound fluent in anything - but she does have good communication skills in English, for a second language learner.

But not of this country’s service. I suspect she’s always been on the payroll of an East European intel service controlled by Moscow.

As far as I know, she speaks her native language, Slovenian, halting English, and probably has a smattering of Russian. That’s it. She lied about having a university degree, she can lie about anything.

That in no way implies fluency. I know a guy from Slovenia who knows a few words of English, a few words of Hungarian, a few words of Russian, a few words of Italian, and fluent German (as well as Slovenian). But DUH! Slovenia is a small country that borders on Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. It is less than 200 miles from the Italian border in the west to the Hungarian border in the east. Slovenian is close enough to Croatian and Serbian that they can speak their own languages to each other without having to translate, much like Norwegians and Swedes. In many parts of Europe, you HAVE to know a smattering of other languages due to sheer geographical necessity. For my work, I have to know, among others, rudimentary Polish. But I never say I can speak it because once a simple conversation starts up, I'm lost. Polish is different enough from Russian that they are not mutually intelligible. I can also say enough words in Turkish and Hungarian to impress taxi drivers, but that's about the extent of them for me. I don't speak them because I can't carry on a conversation in them.

By the way, speaking a number of languages doesn't automatically mean that intelligence agencies stand in line to enlist your services. I speak, read and write nine European languages, eight of which are not English. Big deal. Neither the NSA nor the State Department has called yet. I live in a country that borders on ten other countries, many of which I travel to frequently for work. I'd be an idiot if I didn't learn their languages. That doesn't make me a genius, it's plain common sense. There are other professions besides spying and tour guides where that kind of skill proves useful.

we took French. In secondary school we took French, English and Latin, later added German and Greek.

There are KGB agents all over this country. Hell, some of them BORN here.

Some are working voting precincts, handling computers and counting votes.

Some are on radio, some are in our highest levels of government and I dont mean just Trump.

What has been going on for decades, deep level spying and manipulation, is only coming to light now because of the Trump connection to the KGB, but it has been a major operation here for a long time.

Are there thousands of on the ground KGB agents or people who have been compromised by the KGB? Yeah, thousands for sure.

He looked at Melania like he knew her and that she was doing a great job.
