…yeah, I’m not sure whether it was said that she could speak 5 languages fluently but she was obviously brought up in Italy so should speak that fluently and I imagine will speak/understand some Polish if one of her parents is Polish…but obviously that’s also dependent on how much Polish was spoken in the home and whether it was taught by parents…?…languages are taught differently in general in European schools and I would say that she was possibly taught maybe two other languages as well as English through her schooling…and she may have expanded any of those beyond schooling…
