The world’s richest man might seem to have it all,but Bill Gates has one regret.The selfmade billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.
Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything questionandanswer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网),the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French,Arabic or Chinese.
He said,“I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary.I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest.I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”
Gates,who is worth 79.3 billion,praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese.“Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable,isn’t it?” he said.
This isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language.He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.
