Reply #15: I heard him speak French [View All]

...when he was interviewed by French TV during the Tour de France and he has almost no foreign accent (much less than me LOL). My daughter who speaks Spanish listened to the radio address and said it was really good. What's striking is that he has no American accent at all in both languages. He doesn't sound exactly like a native speaker in French or Spanish but you would never recognize him as an American if you didn't know. I really admire him for this ability. As you know I was born in Germany and only came to France as a student. My French is very good but I never totally lost my German accent. And my daughter is still teasing me about my accent when I speak French or English.
