Ready to be impressed? Alba Baptista is fluent in a whopping five different languages. In addition to English and her native Portuguese, she also speaks French, German, and Spanish. When asked by Beautiful Ballad what comes most naturally to her after her mother tongue, Baptista dished, "I suppose English comes next. It's the most used after Portuguese, but I grew up in a German school, so German is also very familiar to me, and French and Spanish are not too far away from Portuguese."
Baptista attending a German school is also apparently a big reason why she knows so many languages. She explained to W magazine, "It was a really strict school that gave us a lot of discipline. And consequently, you had to be spotless with your languages—very, very on point."
You could say that being multilingual has helped Baptista's career since she spoke some French in her film, "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris," which she said was a good opportunity for her to brush up on the language. "I think French is the language that I'm perhaps least comfortable with, but I speak it, so it was lovely to have a French role to practice that," she said. Baptista also may have used some Spanish when filming "Warrior Nun," considering that the series was shot in Spain. She said to SyFy, "The sensations of the Spanish culture are very present in the show, I think."
