Dear Philippe Mottaz, I refer to your latest programme where you talk about François Hollande and his ability to speak fluently German. I am afraid you are wrong, he does not speak German at all. You may have confused this by thinking of his potential PM Jean-Marc Ayrault who was once teaching German. Mr Hollande, as a good French politician, does only speak French. Regards, Kurt Lehmann
Dear Mr.Lehman, I stand to be corrected, you are absolutely right! My apologies to our listeners.
