According to the US media, Barron Trump has always been a mystery because the youngest son of President-elect Donald Trump and Mrs. Melania Trump rarely speaks in public and almost never speaks long enough for the public to have a chance to learn more about him.

Mysterious foreign language ability

Recently, not long after Mr. Trump won the election in November, a video from the program “Larry King Live” broadcast in 2010 suddenly resurfaced and became the topic of public discussion.

In the video, Barron, then a preschooler, holds a schoolbag and says, “I like my schoolbag. Now, I have to go to school,” in a Slovenian accent, influenced by his mother’s family.

Melania later explained that Barron's pronunciation was due to the fact that he spent so much time with her. "He speaks three languages," Melania added.

In a 2016 interview with People , Melania explained that Barron often calls his grandmother to speak Slovenian.

“I think the more languages you know, the better,” Melania said, but she also said people will still have to speak English when they come to the US.

The educational path of Trump's youngest son

Barron attended St. Andrew's Episcopal High School in Maryland for his junior year, breaking with tradition as many US presidents have sent their children and grandchildren to Sidwell Friends, including the Nixon, Clinton, Obama, Biden and Gore families.

According to information posted on the school's website, St. Andrew's School offers French, Spanish, and Latin classes.

After graduating from St. Andrew's, Barron continued his high school education at Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, which offers programs in Spanish, French, Chinese, and American Sign Language.

However, there is no information yet on which language Barron chooses to study at Oxbridge.

The college Barron will attend has recently become a new source of public interest. In September, the youngest Trump son chose to attend New York University's Stern School of Business.

This is quite a surprising choice for the son of a Republican president, as New York University is known for its liberal, open curriculum.

Stern's curriculum requires students to complete a short-term study abroad program, which can be in Madrid (Spain), Paris (France), Shanghai (China) or Buenos Aires (Argentina).

This international exchange will help Barron broaden his horizons as well as develop his new language skills.
