  1. well,being swiss i gather he would be multi-lingual since switzerland is made up of three different national languages:swiss german(his first),swiss french and swiss italian. not to mention his english(which is generally taught in divided european countries very early on) and the fact that his mum is South African. he may even know a bit of swahili since he does spend time there with his charity.


  2. He considers "Swiss-German", a close dialect of German, to be his first language, as he was raised within 10 miles of the border with Germany in Switzerland.

    He is fluent in English as his mother is South African and it was often spoken as he was growing up.

    His third language is French, which he learned as a teenager when he moved across Switzerland to be trained at Ecublens.

  3. TF321 answer is the most accurate: Swiss German (being a Swiss), English (his mom is South African), French and German.

  4. English, French and Swiss German.  He speaks all three languages actively.

  5. Swiss-German, German, English, and French

  6. German, Swiss-German, English and French.

  7. German, French and English

    German because he's swiss, French because his mom his south african.

  8. He actually learnt French because he moved to the French-Speaking part of Switzerland when he was young, to seriously train at tennis.
