Additionally, I doubt Frank is a native English speaker.
English is a strange enough language to master if you are a
native speaker, let alone if you're learning as a second or

Frank is Dutch but speaks English better than /either/ of you.
English is not my first language either, but I speak if better
than /any/ of you.

And English is not "strange", it is the easiest language on
Earth.
Try Hungarian for "strange", Mr. Polyglot.
