LAS LENGUAS INGLESA Y ESPAÑOLA de Delfín Carbonell

  En una entrevista reciente, trata la señora entrevistadora, y lo consigue, de arrinconar a don Alberto Núñez Feijoo en el tema de sus conocimientos de inglés. Ensalza en su pregunta los méritos lingüísticos de Pedro Sánchez sin gran conocimiento de causa ya que el por ahora presidente del gobierno simplemente chapurrea el idioma inglés o más bien lo lee que lo habla. El señor Núñez Feijoo se aturulla y en vez de esgrimir el argumento de que ni Trump, ni Biden ni Obama hablan idiomas extranjeros, y son y han sido importantes en la escena internacional, se mete en un berenjenal dialéctico. Yo le aconsejaría al presidente del PP que estudie inglés, claro, pero también le diría que no se preocupe, que muchos son los llamados y pocos los elegidos. Y no todos hemos sido tocados con la varita del don de lenguas. Einstein no era tonto, pero su inglés era un desastre. Kissinger hablaba un inglés de pena después de muchísimos años en los Estados Unidos. Hitler nunca se atrevió a ladrar en ...

  I have come to the silly conclusion that Spaniards trip on the same stone countless times and enjoy pounding on the same theme repeatedly, flogging the dead horse of their lack of foreign language savvy. In my last post, I mentioned Mr. Núñez Feijoo ´s admission that his English is inadequate, which prompted his political adversary, the Socialist Party, to cook up a hasty video making fun of him on TV. O tempora, o mores , as the Navaho Indians used to say years ago. The President of Spain from the New Socialist Party, thinks himself a scholar in the language of Shakespeare. He is very daring because he has a lot to be modest about his English speaking abilities. But, unfortunately, he is a Spaniard, to our common regret, and so he believes that his passing acquaintance with English is a skill he should boast about. Not so. His fellow Communist-Socialists should not attack Mr. Núñez Feijoo for his lack of English and should instead send Mr. Pedro Sánchez to an English-language cr...

  Alberto Núñez Feijoo is running for the Presidency of the Kingdom of Spain, against the incumbent (and incompetent) socialist-communist Pedro Sánchez . In this morning´s Interview on Telecinco TV, with Ana Rosa Quintana , he showed himself as a true, leveled, serious and trustworthy politician. During the course of the interview, Mr. Núñez Feijoo admitted to a flaw: his lack of skills in the English language, but he did say he already has a teacher and is ready to overcome this weakness. Most Spanish Prime Ministers have been cut from this same cloth, including the communist-socialist Sánchez, although he thinks otherwise. I am sure that Mr. Núñez Feijoo will take up the challenge and make good, especially because he is bilingual in Castillian and Galician. I wish him the best of luck.
