America hasn’t had a President who was fluent in a language other than English since World War II....

Before the mid 20th Century, multilingualism among US presidents was not unusual. In fact, it was often expected.

Early American leaders were shaped by classical education and long diplomatic careers abroad. John Adams was fluent in French and used it daily while serving as a diplomat in Europe. Thomas Jefferson spoke French fluently and read Latin Greek Italian and Spanish. He believed learning languages sharpened moral and political judgment. James Monroe also spoke French fluently from his years in Paris during the early years of the republic.

The most gifted linguist to ever hold the office was John Quincy Adams. He spoke or read at least six languages and often wrote personal diary entries switching between them mid sentence. Martin Van Buren grew up speaking Dutch and learned English later in life making him the only president whose first language was not English. Even Theodore Roosevelt read French and German fluently and consumed books in multiple languages daily.

By the time Roosevelt entered office in 1933, that tradition was already fading. After World War II, English dominance in global diplomacy and shifting educational priorities made multilingual presidents increasingly rare even as the nation itself grew more linguistically diverse.

John Quincy Adams once served as US minister to Russia and learned Russian well enough to negotiate directly with court officials without an interpreter.

Does anyone care about Chandler v McGregor anymore? Why not Chandler v Volk? #MMATwitter #UFC

@khalilrountree has been on a steady path to becoming the next UFC superstar. What he will become will dwarf what we now perceive a Sean O'Malley or even a Conor to be currently because of Khalil's steady rise and authenticity. If he wins, we will witness true longevity. #UFC

@paulsaladinomd if this is true, then for people like me it means I'm doomed unless I commit to bullsh*t medication for the rest of my life. I would love/need to know what you have discovered on this topic.
