Yes, we have the advantage of speaking and understanding several languages yet if one can't speak well in English (again, if the choice of country is mainly English-speaking) where most of the guests are indeed English speaking, there is a chance they will only hire this person as a back-up or will not hire at all ^^;
Hmmmm must say here that this guy sounded professional. However... from another POV, he may be earning peanut salary but he enjoys what he's doing and he's comfortable with it. His pay is more than enough for him to carry on and he isn't complaining

I remember my senior told me, one language has extra certain allowance.. ie: 500 or 1000? but nt sure..

From my personal opinion.. working in hotel is not easy.
