    Just Spanish and French. His English was said to be unintelligible.

    It's not perfect French, but it's impressive nonetheless. Guevara said it himself in the interview that he found difficulty speaking in French.
    "Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs."
    - Guy Debord (Panegyric)

    "Guided by the Marxist leader-dogmas of misbehaviourism and hysterical materialism, inevitably the masses will embrace, not only Groucho Marxism, but also each other."
    - Bob Black (Theses on Groucho Marxism)

    "I think that the task of philosophy is not to provide answers, but to show how the way we perceive a problem can be itself part of a problem."
    - Slavoj Žižek ("Year of Distraction" lecture)

    It's pretty good French, not perfect but absolutely clear. I'm especially impressed with the accent.
