    I think a big thing people miss about his ability to learn French is something he mentions - not being afraid to fail and constantly trying to communicate. Most people, myself included, go through the motions and are just learning the words, but throwing yourself out there makes such a big difference. Stands to reason that an actor would be well-suited to this level of learning and immersion.

      It’s kinda been proven that language has a mathematical substructure. I think certain people have an ability recognize this & rapidly learn new languages. There’s a polymath on RUclips I follow occasionally and he’s ridiculously good at it… so much so that he’s fluent in classical Latin (not ecclesiastical).
      When I say language has a mathematical substructure… what I mean is it’s formulaic to the point where computers easily deconstruct them. They’re even being used to decode ancient dead languages.

      The most appaling thing in learning languages is having to realize, that you should ABANDON your native language(or minimize your daily usage by the smallest amount as possible) at least for 2 months straight and use the basics that you have learned in new language, with broading your vocabulary, as your information source. It drasticaly helped me to learn english faster, than i had ever tried before. It comes with time, but this is a necessity that you should not ignore. Don't give up, there is more, than you can do 🙏

    He was nice guy, willing to speak in French, and telling us more about a human being than a super start. In addition, his French is good, but he feels comfortable as well while speaking and transmitting emotions in a foreign language (the hardesk task). So, for those persons who had a hard judgement about his French proficiency, I guess some people should take-off their pride and help others to improve their French instead of push them into an hostile situation. Probably he will never will speak as a native, but he's involved with the francophone culture, and it's what it really matters. Stop the hate and just enjoy the moments we have with people such as Bradley Copper.

    It isn't impressive for an American to have fluency in another language, it's just uncommon. My family spoke German when they arrived in the US. They insisted their children speak English even at home so they could more easily assimilate into American culture. This is not atypical for many immigrants, especially in generations past. Things would have been very complicated & clumsy in the past if all arrivals kept their native language as their primary language going forward. The US has attracted tremendous numbers of people from all over the world since the Pilgrims invaded New England & the conquistadors invaded further south & west. French was once the prima lingua for diplomacy because political & military leaders were often from the nobility. French was the language they typically learned to communicate with other nobles in Europe & in colonized regions. Spanish came to be the same in the Southern Hemisphere. The French lost Canada to the British fairly early so the language is only spoken frequently in a few areas such as rural Quebec. Napoleon sold the vast Louisiana territory to Thomas Jefferson before many people had colonized it so French culture is only retained in a few spots in southern Louisiana & a few neighborhoods in St Louis including Soulard.

      You said it well. I’m 70 and came to America at 4 yrs old. My Korean mother said no Korean anymore. So my brother and I learned English in 9 months and forgot Korean. My mother spoke 3 other languages and learned English too. She became a citizen in 6 years. I lived in Germany for 5 years and never became proficient in it. I was amazed after that experience at how brilliant my mother was. English was a different vocabulary, different alphabet. Left to right vs right to left. You are correct, she didn’t want us to have an accent and she said, “we are never going back to Korea.” It was after the Korean War and she was terrified of the Chinese communists that killed her family. So I only speak English and a bit of German. Sad really. I envy bilingual people.

      Gentlemen,
      I was very fortunate. My immigrant father laid down the law. “There will be NO English in this house! You may speak any language you like EXCEPT English.”
      When I pleaded that I needed English for school my father replied, “You will speak English in school AND I expect you to be at the top of your class in English.
      For many, many years now I have been most thankful to both my parents that I can speak at least one other language fluently.

      It will ALWAYS be impressive if someone learned their foreign language as an adult/young adult. Case closed! Growing up speaking multiple languages as a child is EASY. Learning a language to a high level as almost fully formed individual is 1 of the most difficult things imaginable.

      Dear Chad Bailey,
      I couldn’t agree with you more. That is why it is so important to begin teaching children a second and even third language at as early an age as possible.
      Starting to learn a language after age 12 is much more difficult than learning the same language before the age of 10 when it is still relatively effortless.

      I think he’s getting the interviewer’s speech translated via the earbud which he then takes out. So maybe he means doing the whole interview in French with no assistance

    After studying for over 20 years and becoming proficient in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Mandarin, my 13 year old nephew spoke to me using an AI app with absolute linguistic perfection in 3 of those languages for about 10 minutes.
    I felt like I wasted my time and money for over twenty years 😭😭😭

      No you didn’t, because you don’t need an AI app to speak in those languages and to translate. You can do that all on your own. With tech or not, we will always need translators.
