Edit: I misread it. I read it as "you can talk to 3 of these"

Einstein – German and English

Hawking – English

Edison – English

Tesla – Serbocroatic

Curie – Polish

Newton – English

Feynman – English

da Vinci – Italian

Bohr – Danish

I‘d love to see the Tesla, Da Vinci and Einstein - all of them being incredibly smart but no one speaks the Same Language. Heck I think they’ll just switch to Latin to understand each other lol

Skłodowska-Curie also spoke Russian, French, English and likely German.

Did Tesla speak no second language?

Oh my bad, he spoke 7 languages. Please add Czech, Hungarian, German, Italian, French and English.

God that man was smart

Oh, wow, so in case of need, he could act as an interpreter for the others!
