Will someone please explain to this idiot (me) what she meant by some Europeans don’t even speak one language? I don’t get it. I’d claim a blonde moment, but I am an auburn brunette.

She may be referring to slang, pidgin or code-switching. Some people may not bother to learn one language well but simply speak that which is required to conduct business in a multilanguage region.

Marie2,

The basic idea was that an uneducated person would not not fully understand all aspects of their own language, much less be able to speak other languages. The point is that not all Europeans are as wonderfully intelligent as libtards would make them out to be.

Just like in America, there are intelligent people and unintelligent people in Europe. The fact of multiple languages is meaningless and doesn’t cause Europeans to be any more or less intelligent than Americans.
