He actually speaks English very well, he just portrayed himself like this on TV. It's why his teammates laugh at him, they know he can speak English.

Mune is beloved because he reminds us of our inner child and the pureness of how we used to approach life. It's nostalgia, harkening back to the days before we were so politically divided, and the much harsher and jaded way we view life and each other. Cheers to you Kawa.. even though we are all big, you remind us that we should all be small. 🍻
