Melania Trump’s image appeared on billboards in the Croatian capital of Zagreb Friday in an effort to promote learning how to speak English.
“Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English,” the five billboards read, according to the Associated Press. The picture on the advertisement comes from the first lady’s speech at the Republican National Convention in 2016. Behind her photo is a picture of a waving American Flag.

“There are different opinions about Melania Trump, but the fact is that she is the first lady,” Ivis Buric a spokesperson for the American Institute in Zagreb explained. “She had to do a lot, including delivering speeches in English and addressing huge crowds in a foreign language.”
Buric added that, “it is a positive campaign, nothing negative” about Trump.
The first lady speaks five different languages including her native Slovenian, French, German and Serbian.
