Again, Angele Merkel is a pretty convincing counterexample.

  I'll keep that in mind when I'm trying to socialize with the likes of Angele Merkel

    Yeah, probably the chancellor and foreign minister were the only two from their generation that were educated, internationally minded and don't speak English.

      Huh? What makes you think they don't speak English? Angela Merkel can definitely speak English.
      • wheels 3y ago
        Her English is pretty bad. The commenter I was replying to insisted all internationally minded Germans speak excellent English. That's false for Angele Merkel and Guido Westerwelle, and it's literally impossible to find more high profile counterexamples.
