Love Henry but......he is definitely not fluent in all those languages. Not even conversational. 

All he ever does is say ''Hi, my name is Henry'' dot dot dot...

 

And I'm curious about Taecyeon too.

Is he reallllly fluent in Arabic?

this is from Pann though we all should take everything from there with salt and pepper

 

although Seungyeon's was true and Lee Joon as well and i'm pretty sure you can just google Jackson's achievements

I always laugh at these languages idols are supposedly be fluent at.

 

I mean because so many cases they can only say thing like hello, I love you, bye etc... or maybe few sentences and that's it.

does anyone have a segment of Taecyeon speaking arabic?  :imstupid:

Taec doesn't know Arabic... where did that even come from!? And his Spanish is probably only what he learned in school while he was in the States, def not fluent. lol

I think this started from a video where he understood and translated what an Arab fan was telling him on the phone during a radio show... but I haven't seen a video of him actually speaking the language.  :)

Ah, is it? Well that explains things a bit more. But even though it's pann, I still see regular articles and broadcasts saying that he's fluent and it's just...lol.

Ride that train I guess lol
