How many languages does Ron Paul speak?

[Tim Calhoun]

Is English his only language, or did he take any language classes while in school?

Has he ever spent a considerable amount of time in a foreign country? How's his German?

 

[eduardo89]

He speaks fluent Vietnamese.

He would have taken Latin as a Med student I imagine.

His favorite Latin expression would likely be:

Veni, vidi, vici.

Newtl'roy speaks fluent Manchurian. I think Willard does as well.

Southeast Texan

I don't think he speaks any other languages. He was never in vietnam, he was in the military during the war, but he was never actually in vietnam though.

Medical students don't take Latin unless they chose it as an elective in undergrad school.

Dr. Paul speaks common sense. Good enough for me.

 

[Working Poor]

I am sure he had to study latin

 

[FreeTraveler]

Austrian. But only numbers.

I'm pretty sure back in the 50s they still learned Latin as part of the medical training. In Europe you still do, it's a mandatory part of med school.

I can tell you one thing. He doesn't speak twitter.

I think he was stationed at Langley (or some other base that starts with "L") during Vietnam and treated pilots returning from there. I think he said he did some TDY like in Europe, but not sure.
His grandparents were immigrants from Germany. He treated lots of patients whose birth language was Spanish. Guess you'd have to ask him.
