Bill Gates: ‘I feel pretty stupid that I don’t know any foreign languages’
January 8, NEW YORK
Bill Gates has made his mark on the world. So what does he regret?
Not matching a skill that Mark Zuckerberg used last year to impress a Chinese audience: speak a foreign language.
“I feel pretty stupid that I don’t know any foreign languages,” Gates said in an online Reddit chat.
“I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary but I wish I knew French or Arabic or Chinese,” he said. “I keep hoping to get time to study one of these – probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up. Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Mandarin and did a Q&A with Chinese students – incredible.”

So why don’t you get a head start on Bill Gates in 2016 by enrolling in a language course?
