It’s fun to learn them, and to be able to communicate with others around the world in their native tongue.
If you want to learn a second language, there are several ways to go about it. For some, they’re lucky enough to pick it up from family members through being exposed to it at home. For others, they need to knuckle down and learn it, either by taking a formal class or by teaching themselves through books and speaking the language with experts.
There’s no doubt about it, some people definitely have more of an affinity for languages than others. While many struggle to learn even a second language, there are others who manage to gain knowledge in three, four, five, or even more!
Though you’ve probably only ever heard most of the celebs on this list speaking English, as their success is primarily in the North American entertainment industry, they all have at least one, if not more, foreign languages in their back pocket. For some, it’s their native tongue and English actually came second, while for others have just picked up several languages over the course of their lives. Most haven’t done much work in their foreign language, but you can catch their expertise in the rare interview they may do in their non-English tongue.
Here are 10 celebrities who are multilingual:
10. Rita Ora – Albanian
Pop star Rita Ora was raised in London, but like many Londoners, she maintains strong cultural ties to another nation – Albania, in her case. Though her accent is proof of the many years she spent in London, she was actually born in Yugoslavia, now known as Kosovo.
She found her nation of origin important, and was determined to maintain her native tongue over the years. While countless celebs decide to learn the Romance languages like Italian and French, Albanian isn’t exactly as common unless you have it in your heritage, so Ora definitely sets herself apart from the crowd with her linguistic prowess.
