How Diplomats Learn So Many Languages Since many of you may be curious to find out the process behind how diplomats learn languages, I invited Shawn to share how that works on the blog today! Shawn Kobb has been with the U.S. Foreign Service for nearly 8 years and has served in Ukraine, The Bahamas, Washington DC, Afghanistan, and soon Austria. Let’s be honest.
