      Sure, President K slips in a few foreign phrases, but overall this is an easy read. After all, he was giving this speech to an audience where most of the people only knew English as their second language.

      He doesn't try anything too elaborate and he repeats himself a lot, considering the entire speech is only twenty-six sentences long. If you're still not convinced, watch the video of him actually delivering the speech, take a deep breath, and just let that thick Boston accent wash over you.
