We have met for long hours, sometimes discussing mathematics and mathematicians, at other times about other things. I had no difficulty in understanding his English, and his responses showed that he understood what I said. I know that he could read and understand German just as well, though he never particularly wanted to speak German.
Kami ay matugunan para sa mahabang oras, paminsan-minsan ng pagkikipag-usap sa matematika at mathematicians, at iba pang beses tungkol sa iba pang mga bagay-bagay. Ako had hindi nahihirapan sa pag-unawa sa kanyang English, at ang kanyang mga tugon ay nagpakita na siya naiintindihan kung ano ang sinabi ko. Ako malaman na siya ay maaaring basahin at intindihin German lamang bilang mabuti, bagaman hindi siya lalo na kinakailangan upang magsalita ng German.
