That's not really a hidden talent, it about being educated and being able to talk a different language and being able to communicate.
Harold Ewing 1 year ago
The definition of talent is something good through practices developed into skill skill set or Etc anyway so I know the French language I can read and write it however because I have no one in the midwest here to practice with I haven't developed that skill very well. My brother had down syndrome. he taught me to sign. First three words I love you he taught me I wonder what they thought was wrong with him nothing I could just see he might look different but if he loved I can just learned a lesson that's what signing can do

Ketutar Jensen 2 years ago
A linguist? She speaks English and German. That's it. German is her mother's native language, and she lived in Germany. It would be weird if she didn't speak that. Being able to speak your parents' language isn't "being a linguist", or having a special talent with languages.

I would say another talent that I just now discovered for her, is that she can actually smile for the camera ;) Although I bet she does it more times, the usual pictures that are shown with her in it she's always looking kind of crancky and never ever with a hin of a smile. Have to say, the smile looks great on her!

Lady Gaga - Cooking
Ketutar Jensen 2 years ago
Come on, now. Everyone can sing. You just wouldn't pay to hear me sing. In fact, you'd pay not to hear me sing. A lot of people can write. One can even read most people's handwriting. Everyone can not do calligraphy or write novels worth reading. I would say everyone can draw. Even animals can draw. But not everyone is an artist. Most people can prepare edible food. Some people will burn it when they boil water. Some people make amazing food. My food is edible, even tasty, but it's not legendary, like my aunt's cooking. Now, she had talent. Most people cannot make amazing food with the same ingredients and equipment some people can. Ever heard of Master Chef? So, yes, cooking can be a talent.
