Doors, The (Jim Morrison)/language

Question
Hi,
I'm just wondering whether Jim Morrison knew any foreign languages?
I also came across some funny discussion about his height, and it made me curious about his shoe size :D
Do you know anything about it?
Thanks

Answer

Hi again Julija.

Jim Morrison was at Florida State University (FSU) firstly where he studied art and psychology 1n 1962, he then of course moved onto UCLA and studied Film and graduated in 1965. To my knowledge (and I could stand corrected here) but to my knowledge he never spoke any other language fluently. I have heard that he spoke a few phrases of German and French.

James Douglas Morrison. From people I've met who knew him or had seen him in person, all have told me many times that his height was 5 foot 11 inches (180 cm) and he wore shoes ranging from size 12 to 12 & 1/2 US, so I'll leave you to conclude what you will from his shoe size Julija :)

Hope that cleared that up for you and thanks for your question.
