Does Kylian Mbappé speak English? How many languages does Kylian Mbappé speak?

Language acquisition has always come naturally to Kylian Mbappe, who not only speaks fluent French, Spanish, and English but has also been studying Portuguese and Italian.

Mbappe proudly addressed himself in Italian when he took the stage at the Globe Soccer Awards, demonstrating his comfort with not only learning but also using new languages.

Despite not speaking Portuguese as well as his teammate and friend Neymar, Mbappe is reportedly learning it.

Amazingly, Mbappe wants to learn Arabic as well, and not just because it is one of the world’s most spoken languages.
