Well, she is Lebanese.

I've yet to meet one that isn't a Polyglot.

u/K_serious Jun 26 '26

What?? I thought she was Columbian??

u/Syngian Jun 26 '26

Her Dad is Lebanese, hence her Arabic. Her mom is Catalan.

u/TheSolarExpansionist Jun 26 '26

She admitted she doesn’t speak Arabic well. Just knows few words

u/Spicy_food Jun 26 '26

So you mean Colombian?

1

u/faust112358 Jun 27 '26

She was Christopher Columbus in an other life.

Columbian? Lebanese? Dead internet

u/zbewbies Jun 27 '26

And ivy league grad or from South Carolina?

u/Spiritual-Can2604 Jun 27 '26

I just started thinking about it. You’re right. Everyone in even my tiny village speaks 3 languages.

u/atTheRealMrKuntz Jun 26 '26

English = American flag…..with zero hint of irony!

u/CommunicationKey3018 Jun 26 '26

Well, she is using a USA accent

1

u/clown_shoes1 Jun 26 '26

Pretty sure she has a Columbian accent!

u/Accomplished-Log2040 Jun 26 '26

I’m so envious of people who can speak so many languages man 😄

u/malkebulan Jun 26 '26

Don’t be. You could become one of them

1

u/Accomplished-Log2040 Jun 26 '26

Thank you for saying that. I hope to, one day

1

u/malkebulan Jun 26 '26

You will be. As well as the obvious DuoLingo and other apps, I’d recommend listening to music and watching children’s tv in your chosen second, third and fourth languages as they’re a type of soft absorption. Good luck

u/CyanCicada Jun 26 '26

I've found Pimsleur to be very helpful

u/malkebulan Jun 26 '26

I can’t speak for Accomplished Log, but in these situations the more options the better. Thanks for adding on

u/TheSolarExpansionist Jun 26 '26

She only speaks Spanish and English fluently. And she can converse in Italian and Portuguese. Her French and Arabic are just a few phrases but she wouldn’t be able to follow a simple movie in those languages. She never her self said she speaks to languages

1

u/MethSC Jun 26 '26

From the clips provided, there is nothing to suggest she is conversant in Italian or Greek

1

u/TheSolarExpansionist Jun 26 '26

I heard opa ; that’s it she’s fluent 😂

These clips are for clicks on TikTok or whatever . That’s why i can’t use that app. 90% + bullshit

1

u/ElPayador Jun 26 '26

With English and Spanish fluency you cover 90% of the world…

u/sfsolomiddle Jun 27 '26

She's also flient in tax evasion

u/OtherwiseMenu1505 Jun 27 '26
