"Don’t believe the mystique of Pete Buttigieg’s reputation for speaking seven languages.

 

I know it’s hype, because I do speak seven languages (English, French, Hebrew, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish — in that order), and the online evidence of his vaunted multilingualism sometimes seems little more than a parlor trick.

 

To be fair, Buttigieg has never claimed outright, “I speak seven languages.” He has cautioned that his Arabic and Dari are “pretty rusty” and that he can read Norwegian “only slowly.” But neither has he discouraged the buzz. When Ellen DeGeneres asked him “You speak seven languages; what are they?” he said he wasn’t claiming to be fluent in most of them — but he listed them anyway: French, Spanish, Norwegian, Arabic, and Italian. (He also claims to speak Maltese and Dari.)

 

Yet in the language community it’s no trivial claim to say you “speak” a language. “I speak Maltese but I’m not fluent” is an unclear, if not incoherent, statement."
