Dr, Hofstader parle francais tres bien. Evidentment, il a etudie francais depuis il etait un petit parce qu'il a un accent tres authentique. Moi, J'ai apris francais depuis presque 4 ans, et je peux compredre tout ce que Dr. H dirait. Pas si nouveua--pas de tout. Lisez ses libre en l'anglais! (rough translation--he speaks very well, probably studied it when he was young because he has a great accent. I've studied french for almost 4 years and understood everything he said. Read his books!
He took it in school at the age of 13 and shortly thereafter spent a year in a French speaking area of switzerland. He has put a great deal of effort into studying French (and a great many other languages) throughout his life. His accent is pretty much perfect because he has paid excruciating attention to precise pronunciation.
It is amazing how much Douglas Hostadter resembles Alan Turing.
