I've read that JT's French is a little sketchy. And his proficiency in English is, well, pedestrian at best. It's painful to listen to him when he speaks extemporaneously in English. And he has a tendency to say the darndest things when tripping over his own apparently sparse thoughts. Eloquent he is not, except perhaps when following a prepared speech that's presumably written by somebody else. I suspect he's not the best interlocutor other world leaders can find.
