Languages


Tyson knows English, Latin, and Hebrew fluently. He can speak but not read German and read but not speak Hindi. He knows enough of French, Russian and Spanish to get by on missions but not enough to sound convincing or comfortable enough with the language to say that he knows it.

Lamentably, in Tyson's eyes, he can't say that he's fluent in Yiddish. He knows most of the words and several phrases that are common in Jewish communities, but he's never learnt the sentence structure for Yiddish.
Though Tyson learnt English and Hebrew at the same time, Hebrew came to Tyson far easier so he has always considered it his first language rather than English.
