My headcanon for book Yassen learning languages is that he's really good at learning sounds/phonetics for new languages and he thinks that learning to speak in a native accent is what language learning is all about, so he'll practice to get his pronunciation 'right'

This is why he doesn't really have a Russian accent in the book, but also because it comes relatively easy to him, he lowkey thinks people who do have an accent just didn't try hard enough ashdflhs

#alex rider for ts #yassen gregorovich #idk the idea amuses me of yassen lowkey judging people while not quite realising that 1. he's special in learning languages well #and 2. other people have different priorities and don't care to sound like a native speaker #similarly yassen genuinely only needing 4 hours of sleep and he knows other people need more but part of him does think they're lazy lol #'yassen never slept more than four hours. the night was too valuable' this is a man who looks down on people for needing 6-8 hours of sleep
