Microsoft founder Bill Gates has revealed what makes him feel like a fool. The global philanthropist was asked on Reedit, a social network chat “Ask Me Anything”,Wednesday, if there was anything in his life that he regretted? “I feel pretty stupid that I don’t know any foreign languages, I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helped my vocabulary but I wish I knew French or Arabic or Chinese. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these – probably French because it is the easiest,” the 59-year-old told Skynews.

While paying glowing tributes to Mark Zuckerberg,  founder of

founder  said he was delighted with the Chinese audience last year with his Mandarin skills. Mr Gates continued: “I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up. Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Mandarin and did a Q&A with Chinese students – incredible.”

The former Microsoft chief, who is the world’s richest man with a net worth of more than $80bn (£53bn), can certainly afford the language lessons.
