I don’t know how many languages Orban speakers, but Europeans tend to speak several. Few Americans speak anything other than English, and Biden hardly speaks that.

Obran studied at Oxford, so I would think he speaks English. So, in the short back and forth you see Orban and Melania Trump, I am guessing they spoke English.

No idea if Melania speaks Hungarian but Hungarian is common in Slovenia. Slovenian is not common in Hungary so probably English.

I use to live in Europe and would always be hounded by the snooty “oh so sophisticated and well travelled” European. They don’t realize how huge the Anglosphere is in North America. They also won’t admit (because they hate the fact) that English IS the international business language. I was talking to some Irish a few weeks ago and they asked me how far away I lived (I was up in Spokane) and I said “Oh, not bad, it was only 9 hours of driving.” In Europe 9 hours of driving would see you through 9 nations. In Ireland, you’d be swimming.

The European friends I have that speak 4 or 5 languages all came from border countries. Someone who lives in Switzerland could have an Austrian Father, a French Mother, An Italian Grandmother, A Spanish Grandfather, learned English in school. All those languages were spoken as they were growing up.
