What languages does Belinda Bencic speak?
The 25-year-old Swiss professional tennis player like many of her compatriots in professional sports is a polyglot. She is fluent in Slovak, which is the language of her parent’s home country Czechoslovakia. She is often heard speaking it to either her parents or her brother Brian Bencic who is also a professional tennis player.
Belinda is also quite proficient in Swiss-German, German, and English. Living in Switzerland affords many the opportunity to learn different languages, as there are a number of dominant languages including French, German and Romansh.
Her life as a pro tennis player means she also gets to travel to various parts of the world and encounter new cultures. As a teenager, she played at an academy in the United States where she is likely to have improved her English.
