23. A Language that makes Putin nervous
Thanks to KGB having him posted in Germany as a “special agent”, Vlad Putin can speak German fluently. During several of his meetings with the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, Putin spoke fluently in the German language with the German Chancellor. However, it is a lot different when it comes to the English language. Putin has the basic know-how of the language, but he is not very confident in speaking English. He has a command over conversational English and can make another person understand his point, but he has never spoken English to any foreign political guest. He gets to talk in English only if you are super lucky.
We’re not sure how many times he rehearsed this speech, asking for the World Exposition to consider Russia as the next location.
