Merkel doesn't speak English, Schröder at least made an effort...

East German isn't she? Wouldn't she be more likely to speak Russian?

She was actually born in Hamburg but then moved to Brandenburg and they did English in the East, too.
Besides, for someone of that political caliber, there's no excuse to have learned some English in the last 16 years...

Bet her English is better than Blair's German, though

Most likely, yes. She wasn't using a earplug but Blair was.

I can understand what she says! Besides, I don't really like this thing of English as a world language. From a native English speakers point of view, I feel one can easily miss out on so much when everything is in English.
