【Putin shares "classroom embarrassment": "I went to a German class, sat for half an hour, and then realized it was actually an English class"] Everyone has embarrassing stories of going to the wrong classroom during their student days. Recently, Russian President Putin shared a funny story he heard when he was an athlete at a meeting of the Russian Sports Development Committee. He said that there was once a teammate who had won European championship and World Cup medals, and studied at a good university. One day, he went to a German class, but after listening for half an hour, he found out it was actually an English class.
Putin added that this athlete was actually a great guy, kind and sincere, and very good in all aspects.
The reason why Putin made this additional explanation after telling the funny story is probably to emphasize that he does not have the prejudice that "muscular, not smart." In fact, Putin himself is also an athlete by background, and speaks both German and English well. The athlete in the joke may just be "illiterate in foreign languages."
