Ho Chi Minh speaks and writes 5 languages fluently (English, French, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese)

[@5pavn]

The greatest Vietnamese, the great leader who came to save the Vietnamese people. I give, from the bottom of my heart, all my love to Bác, I will be eternally grateful to him, Bác Hồ Chí Minh vĩ đại.

[@salamandabiko]

Thanks for this great video

[@qu.andoiz]

In fact, although Ho Chi Minh quoted the US declaration of independence in the Vietnamese declaration of independence, he modified it. “All men are created…” he translated into “Tất cả mọi người…” in Vietnamese, meaning “All people are created”, including both men and women. In 1776, Americans had not yet fulfilled their Declaration of Independence when only white men were equal and free. By 1861, black men were equal to white men and at this time, America did exactly what they declared "all men are created equal". And it wasn't until the mid-20th century that American women had the right to vote, and they had equal rights with men. At this time, the United States truly implemented what Ho Chi Minh said "All people are created equal" in terms of law.

good point brother

Damn

[@lamnguyens1987]

I love him but to be fair, it’s also important you take the two languages into consideration. In English, not until very recently, usually when they refer to people in general, the male person is always used to refer to. For example, mankind, human, etc., or “a man is wise when he…”. It’s been a practice for long. Now let’s say if Ho Chi Minh wanted to literally translate (word-by-word translation) the phrase “all men are created equal”, which are understood generally in English as all people for ages, he would have to write in Vietnamese literally as: “mọi người đàn ông..”. This, after all, is very silly since in the context of the Vietnamese language usage, it only refers to men, male people, whereas in the English context, it generally is understood as people in general.

[@khylelewis]

His French and Russian seemed good. But his English here is inconclusive because he's reading it the first time, and probably the second time as well. He could definitely speak English, but I'm not sure he's FLUENT.

[@al0dmd]

As I know, his English was hardly affected by his French which is his most fluently foreign language. There're a video of Ho Chi Minh speaking in English smoothly and fluently enough but every word he pronounce its sound just like French or French people talking English.

[@qu.andoiz]

Ho Chi Minh's English pronunciation was heavily influenced by French because he learned it through the French

[@khylelewis]

@@qu.andoizwhat's that got to do with anything? Your comment is completely irrelevant. You're neither confirming his English was good or not.

[@qu.andoiz]

@@khylelewis I'm just giving you more information. As for whether his English is good or not, I think it doesn't matter. He did not have a good education but had to work hard in England and the United States to find a way to liberate his people. He wrote many articles, met many people, from workers to politicians using the English he learned in those special conditions with the sole purpose of liberating the people, and he did it. Therefore, assessing whether his English level is good or bad is no longer necessary because he has already used English effectively and achieved his goals.

[@tarwinwannatham4196]

I think he can speak Thai because uncle Ho had lived in Thailand.

[@qu.andoiz]

He can speak 29 foreigner languages but only fluent in about 5 to 9 foreign languages. However, this number does not include the languages ​​of Vietnam's ethnic minorities such as Tày, Yao, Hmong, ​​that Ho Chi Minh used a lot during the 15 years he lived in the Viet Bac war zone.

[@klom15thailand]

His Vietnamese is like a traditional folk in the North, his French is an oriented linguistic, his Tai-Kadai languages are a bitter funny and his Chinese with QuangXi accent is awesome. His methodology is very adaptive and useful to impress foreign people he met. He was a strategic player in a HUNGER game SERIES to fight any SUPERPWRs by communicating via the most powered weapon called MEDIA.

[@thienstickman2318]

I miss him to much, my people loved him to much. In his life no girl no wife, but his love is his country, the people, he is the piotric of freedom and fighting for justice for a new world and for everybody. He is represent of knowledege for humanlity. He do everything, that's why everybody love him even foreign Countries would salute at him and show him their's respect for a son of God gave for us.

[@qu.andoiz]

Like other normal people, Ho Chi Minh had love in his youth. But he decided to sacrifice his personal feelings for the sake of independence and freedom for the nation. In Vietnam's situation at that time, revolutionaries like Ho Chi Minh were not rare, but no one sacrificed as much and as thoroughly as he did. Before dying, our great President said "I dedicate my life to my people".

[@georgeloh8257]

He could speak 5 languages, it means that he read a lot of books from various languages.

[@wdaniel4914]

@@lanceli1971 is there any video to prove?

[@lanceli1971]

Unfortunately I have to look for the video that I watched long time ago. That video elaborated his political life, he most of time traveled back and forth between China and Vietnam. During his visit to Beijing where he met Mr. Mao, he spoke mandarin. At some period of time, he stayed in Hong Kong, obviously it is a place where Cantonese speaking is widely used, even now. Besides, he at some points met a Cantonese woman who is a nurse.

[@Freelensia]

He doesn't speak Chinese in this video. You can see some of his Chinese writings at the end of the video.

[@WangMingGe]

His book of poetry, his prison diary, was written entirely in Chinese. It is available free online, in the Chinese original.

[@biluu2780]

I am Vietnamese I remember there was a poem he wrote in Chinese during his detention by Chiang Kai-shek and it was widely taught in schools.

[@khanhle6841]

He know how to write chinese in Vietnam. Speaking chinese part is very easy to learn for vietnamese especially if he/she know how to write chinese. Vietnamese used a lot chinese vocabulary in formal writing and although most vocabulary words are pronounced different than in chinese, but they are the same in writing. Since china has many dialects during his time, they just write in chinese to communicate with other chinese. He knows at least one chinese dialect, and could have known cantonese dialect or/and mandarin, but he's not fluent like other chinese leaders during his time. MaoZeDong and DengXiaoPing didn't know how to speak standard mandarin, they can write chinese very well and speak local dialect, so they used intepreters for communication in standard mandarin with other chinese leaders or by writing. Ho Chi Minh married a chinese wife while he was in china, so he must know how to speak at least one of chinese dialects. There was a story about him correcting a mandarin interpreter when he didn't use the correct words in the conversation with chinese leader. He still used chinese interpreter, but he understand the chinese language and he may not speak mandarin fluently. That was why he was using interpreter.

Hồng Y Spellman Dựng nên Đệ Nhất Cộng Hòa VN Theo linh mục Martin Malachi: Spellman dấn thân vào Việt Nam là theo ý muốn của Giáo Hoàng Pius XII: muốn người Mỹ đưa ông Ngô Đình Diệm lên vì ảnh hưởng của tổng giám mục Ngô Đình Thục. Linh mục An-Tôn Trần Văn Kiệm. LM là người duy nhất ở gần ông Ngô Đình Diệm trong hơn hai năm ông Diệm ở Mỹ. Theo Linh mục, có ba người đưọc hồng y Spellman bảo trợ, nhận làm con nuôi: hai linh mục Trần Văn Kiệm-Nguyễn Đức Quý và ông Ngô Đình Diệm. ông Ngô Đình Diệm có tới ba vị “cha nuôi” oai quyền một cõi: thượng thư Nguyễn Hữu Bài, Hồng y Spellman và trùm CIA Allen Dulles. Năm 1951, đang ở New York, Linh mục Trần Văn Kiệm, được điện tín từ Âu châu ra đón tổng giám mục Ngô Đình Thục và em là Ngô Đình Diệm taị phi trường Idlewild (phi trường Kennedy bây giờ). Sau đó Hồng y Spellman gửi ông Diệm trú taị nhà dòng các linh mục Maryknoll, New Jersey. Năm 1948, ngài đỡ đầu cho linh mục Fulton Green qua Australia đọc diễn văn tại nhà thờ St. Mary’s ở Sydney. Spellman ghé Singapore và Bangkok, bay ngang Angkor Wat. Trên đường trở về Mỹ, trứơc khi bay qua Canton và Hongkong, ngài "tiện chân" ghé Saigon. Tổng giám mục Saigon người Pháp Jean Cassaigne có mời tổng giám mục Vĩnh-Long Ngô Đình Thục trong buổi tiếp đón ngày 25-5-1948: từ buổi “tiện chân” định mệnh này, số phận cuả dòng họ Ngô-Đình đã an bài.
