If Kim Jong Un went to boarding school in Switzerland, he can speak English.

Curious, does anyone know how many languages Kim speaks?

Offhand?

Maybe he could speak some English but I doubt that he is fluent enough to do his own talking in English with Trump. That requires a high level of English competence.

Yeah right. ... I took Spanish for two years in high school and don't remember squat. :-) I doubt the guy gets much practice speaking English since he was in school.

Kim may also prefer translators so he can communicate freely without struggling to find words and phrases like "you give me pallets of cash and I stop building nukes" and stuff like that.

Problem is, that he is most likely the one of a dozen in NK who can speak English.

Also (possibly):

English, German, French, Turkish, and very likely also speaks Mandarin

If this happens and this guy is real, it wouldn’t surprise me if Kim emotionally breaks down and ask Trump to protect him from his own people, once they start seeing glimpses of freedom.

I was stationed in Germany for three years, and learned enough German to order a beer, talk to girls, and basic, day-to-day chit chat. However, I was told to stay away from trying to discuss religion, politics, or most technical/mechanical topics.

Of course. That is how you put your opponent at a disadvantage.

At an international boarding schools, the language of instruction is usually English - not Korean.

When men of such different ages meet, there is always a certain father/son interaction. Let’s pray that Kim sees what a genuine, wonderful, wise, protective and generous father Donald Trump is.

A lot is riding on this meeting!
