MELANIA TRUMP, 49, shocked when she made a rare comment about fellow First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda of Poland. Donald’s wife rarely makes public addresses, but made an exception in this case. Melania is somewhat of a linguist. Does she speak Polish?

Melania Trump and Agata Kornhauser-Duda of Poland appear to have made somewhat of a friendship, according to the President of the US.

But, does Melania Trump speak polish? Many are away of the First Lady's language skills.

Born in Slovenia, Melania moved to the US in her early 20s.

Melania speaks five languages. The First Lady of Poland is also a linguist. She was a translator and a teacher of German (one of Melania’s languages).

Melania is a tremendous asset to her husband and to our country. We have seen this again and again, beginning with the President’s first foreign trip, to Saudi Arabia. Her appearance is a stylized Abaya spoke to our desire for equal rights for all, and our respect for other cultures.

Ivanka has also been a tremendous asset. In many countries, they count family connections very highly. And, her teaching her daughter some of the Chinese language was noticed by the people as well as the government of that country.

Watching Melania closely her body language, it appeared that she understood Polish.

Growing up in Slovenia when it was part of Yugoslavia, she would have had to learn "Serbo-Croatian" as it was called. So you could say she actually speaks 8 languages: Slovenian, French, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, German, Italian, and English.

Unless you want to count Montenegrin as a separate language. (The one time I was in Montenegro I heard a local man call his language Serbian, but that was before the breakup of Yugoslavia.)

Slovenian and Polish and Russian are related languages.
They could also speak German, which is quite common in Poland. Melania speaks German but AFAIK not Russian.

Its quite common to speak two or three languages without too much trouble. Its a matter of where one comes from.

Five takes effort.
