    This was posted a lot of times, and it’s not defined what “spoken” actually means. E.g. you can hear Orbán speaking English in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO9v8aKSj24

    Those are definitely English words, and by Hungarian standards it’s not that bad (Only 25% of Hungarians can speak English according to 2022 census). But is this the same level as other leaders? On other threads it was mentioned that Erdogan can speak some other language just not really well, so it’s not counted here.

      He’s just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity 😂

      erdogan isn’t well educated, he rode on the resentment poor classes, like his, bred towards the “republicans”. The less educated he is, the more he attracted them. Not unlike Trump now.

      ps: When he started rising he wanted to undo the republic, unlike the nationalist he now became. The republic wasn’t (maybe it still isn’t) an agreed base there. He may be familiar with Arabic as a second language.

      edit: according to wikipedia he graduated from imam hatip school. Erdogan definitely is bilingual.
