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

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.

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

Looks like he attended the International School of Bern for a couple of years so he should have a conversational level of English at least. The International schoos operate in English (we had three children in International schools near Zurich for a year while living there). Kim was then put in a local German speaking school as he wasn’t doing that well so his German is likely better.
