How/why does a model know 5 languages?



Because in many parts of Europe, multi-lingualism is encouraged and even required. In Germany, one cannot graduate from (what we would call) "high school" unless they are fluent in three languages (German, English, and French) and conversant in two others (students choice).

I speak four languages, myself and I am certainly no more "important" (or educated) than a model.

Yea, every European person I know, speak like alot of languages. Min 3, but most easily can speak even more than 5. Unless they are from UK. Because somehow UK people don't bother learning other languages. But Europeans, they try to speak everything.

I personally technically speak 4 languages too. But my other 2 languages are local chinese dialects, so they are useless for the world ha! Maybe only useful in parts of China and Taiwan.

This also makes me think about something.
Before my country made English the official language and made it compulsory for everybody to learn it. The chinese spoke infact, different types of dialect. Not even Mandarin. So you could literally have one chinese speak cantonese and another speak Hokkien, and they wouldn't be able to understand each other at all. And both may not speak Mandarin at all. We literally had to get a learn Mandarin campaign specially for the Chinese population to be able to learn to understand and communicate with each other as they couldn't understand each other languages.

And of course the Indians spoke Tamil and the Malays spoke Malay. And the British occupiers spoke English.

I notice My grandfather and basically alot of older generation, although extremely uneducated but end up being able to speak ALL those languages. My grandfather must have spoken 7 languages! He was also practically zero education, but his languages spoken were like all fluent. Because if you don't learn, you couldn't communicate and trade with the other people who speak different languages from you. So everybody is just forced to speak everything.

I think because Europe is so special, like all their neighbours speak a different language. Take Switzerland for example. It's one country, but 3 different parts of countries, are split up, like different first language. Italian, French and German. So same country and they don't speak each other languages. And I think English is not compulsory since when I was there, many people could not understand English when I spoke to them. But imagine to communicate with each other, they need to learn each other languages. It becomes such a necessity.

PS: My friends are convinced it's just racism, when they pretend they don't understand or speak English. But I choose to believe they genuinely didn't speak it ha. Because if it's racism, then that is majority of them over there! Literally shops, restaurants, people on the street, everywhere.

I get the same bullshit in Hong Kong. If I speak Mandarin or English, everyone pretends not to understand me. Again could be "racism", as Hong Kong people despise Mandarin speakers. But because I look Chinese, they expect me to speak Cantonese.

He spoke about 7 languages but the problem was that his English was less than understandable, so we got a lot of free board and lodging behind county bars. His job ? He was a deckhand on Swedish cargo ships/ freighters. Never judge a book by it's cover.

Hehe, not only that! I am watching X-factor UK right now.
And there is this Finnish contestant. Her English accent is really funny! At least to my ears!
Never really met anybody from Finland before. Sweden and Denmark plenty.

The funny thing is, for some reason, I cannot understand the Russian hatred thing. I never ever had any bad connotation in my upbringing in regards to Russian. I do think they are rather stiff and humourless people. But it's their stepford culture I think. Other than that, gosh they are hella perfectionists! I am actually surprise they haven't rivaled Japan and Germany in manufacturing.

THAT'S one of the reasons the Finns hate the Russians. Another is to do with a so called 'neutral zone' which the Soviets insisted was to be on Finnish territory, during the Soviet period.

Perfectionists ? you never heard the expression during the Soviet era "They pretend to pay us, so we pretend to work" ? Their goods were known to be shoddy crap. The only things they ever perfected was vodka and getting totally blind drunk on it.

If we ever meet, get me to tell you the joke about Nikolai Ivanovitch Vovachevsky , inventor of radio, TV, radar, the internal combustion engine, the jet engine, the rocket , the microwave etc.,etc.,etc !!!!

You clearly haven't met the models I've met.

No incentives, no marketplace. until just recently if any.

I think he hated me ever after that.

In conclusion, Made in Russia is as defect as Made in China currently haha!
I feel like Russia is a country that can compete in manufacturing. But their business PR may need work.

Chinese business culture is built on bribery. What I mean is, if they want your business. They take you out for meals, buy you gifts, they will find something to make you happy, to break down that barrier to win your business, they buy you girls if that's what it takes! They freaking treat you like a princess, even if you are a man. IF they want your business. They seriously go all the way. I guess that's how they wooed manufacturing to their country, EVEN though the quality is not the best.
