@@jimi1943 He was indeed a volunteer during the winter war, but the British volunteers were kept out from the front because during training it was found out that they didn't know how to ski. So they were tasked guard duty far from the frontlines and sent back very soon (apparently after two weeks according to Lee's memoir) after they had arrived. Doesn't diminish the appreciation towards the volunteers, though.

I met Sir Christopher Lee on the concourse of London Waterloo station back in 1987. I was a train guard for BR/NSE at the time and he approached me and asked if I knew which platform the next train for Shepperton would be going from. He’d just missed one so I explained and said we’d have to keep an eye on the departure board. Only 30 seconds before he came to me I’d been listening to my Sony Walkman. After explaining about the Shepperton services, he said: “I notice you were listening to music on that gadget, there. Anything good?” I told him I had been listening to Iron Maiden “Live After Death”, to which he replied: “A very fine recording and one of Iron Maiden’s best I must say.” I stood there aghast, truly. Cutting the story short he told me that he’d had a soft spot for heavy rock and metal for years and that he’d love to make his own heavy metal record one day. And do you know what, he did; a couple in fact. All about Charlemagne. Bloody good as well. We talked about music in general for a while and I discovered he loved classical and opera. He also commented on my Yorkshire accent and asked why was I down in London. I told him I’d always wanted to work on the railway and at the time the majority of jobs were in the south. “You moved down here with family?” ‘No on my own’, I explained. “Any friends?” ‘Not before I moved down here, no.’ He said I was very brave and that you should always follow your dreams. Meeting Sir Christopher Lee remains one of my most favourite happenings in my life and I shall cherish that memory until I pop my mortal coil. He was an impressive, warm, kind, humble and funny man. They’ll never be anyone like him again. May he rest in peace.

I was with a Brasilian woman for 9 years prior to this, but I didn't learn any BP (Brasilian Portuguese) as she spoke fluent English, but I heard a lot of it. 4 months in Brasil and I was speaking as a native and getting compliments on my pronunciation and proficiency.

*The voice of Saruman:* “Suddenly another voice spoke, low and melodious, its very sound an enchantment. Those who listened unwarily to that voice could seldom report the words that they heard; and if they did, they wondered, for little power remained in them. Mostly they remembered only that it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire awoke in them by swift agreement to seem wise themselves. When others spoke they seemed harsh and uncouth by contrast; and if they gainsaid the voice, anger was kindled in the hearts of those under the spell. For some the spell lasted only while the voice spoke to the them, and when it spoke to another they smiled, as men do who see through a juggler’s trick while others gape at it. For many the sound of the voice alone was enough to hold them enthralled; but for those whom it conquered the spell endured when they were far away, and ever they heard that soft voice whispering and urging them. But none were unmoved; none rejected its pleas and its commands without an effort of mind and will, so long as its master had control of it.” - from The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien

I think OP is saying that he understands how to use the languages to communicate. It's one thing to pick up phrases in Duolingo. It's another to understand them in a native speaker's particular accent, and another to express yourself articulate!y. For example, the way he repeats words for emphasis and changes pitch to communicate nuance.

It’s incredible that he still sounds like himself in all five languages.

There’s such a confidence there. .

I just want to point out how helpful can it be to speak clear and slowly. I'm Spanish, I speak English, a bit of French and I more or less understand Italian if it's not delivered at warp speed... but Sir Christopher Lee speaks German so clearly that I get the impression I understand him! I've met lots of people who think they speak better English (or any other language for that matter) because they go faster and faster. Nope, that doesn't help. Just ease a bit the pace, you'll have more time to think what to say (instead of speaking without thinking) and to articulate more clearly. A win - win situation, here demonstrated by such a Legend in Capitals as Sir Christopher Lee.
