How many languages Roger Federer speaks?

[Red Cloud]

English. French. German. Is he speaking Italian too?

[Ulysses]

 English. French. German. Schweizerdeutsch.

He does not speak either Italian or Spanish.

Nole speaks quite good German and excellent Spanish, as well as
Serbian, Italian and perfect English. Nole's gift for languages is
great. He says his passion is languages and it shows.

What does Nadal speak?

Spanish and a fractured English so heavily accented it's basically
unintelligible. First #1 player since Vilas who didn't speak fluent
English. And since then, Vilas has learned fluent English.

It's common, when one comes from a country where mulitple
languages are spoken, one also speaks those languages.

Catalan and Castillian Spanish fluently, and English.

Easy to understand in the southwestern US. No problem.

Nadal's stats "speak" for Nadal.

-------------------------
NADAL VS FEDERER (Nads bests Feds h2h)
Grand Slam matches: Nadal 7–2
Grand Slam finals: Nadal 6–2
All matches: Nadal 17–9
All finals: Nadal 13–6
FEDERER 16 slams, most vs tier 5-6 players,
leaving Fed with about 6/7 solid slams vs top players
NADAL 10 slams, most all were vs tier 1 players,
+Nadal has a Singles Olympic Gold, Federer does not.
NADAL- Won the 3 biggest slams on 3 different surfaces
in 1 calendar year. No one in the history has done
it until Nadal; Wimbledon-grass, USO-hard court, French Open-clay

[Court_1]

Ferrer is even worse than Nadal but Ferrer is not and never was number
one or two so nobody cares. Ferrer needs an interpreter for the word
"hello."

Pretty good for a "retarded sea monkey." ;)

No Italian but his native language is Swiss German which is wildly
different from German. The first 3 you have correct though.

Apparently he doesn't speak Nole language, thus has no relations with
him
but hey as long as he communicates well with Nadal and Tiger Woods,
it's ok .

[Iceberg]

oh no, has Ulyseeeees tried to jump on the Djoker bandwagon like
Sakari, pretending they were already fans, when really they weren't
until a couple of weeks ago.

[Iceberg]

he seemed alright giving interviews afterwards in London.

[Iceberg]

wildy different?!! are you sure about that one. Most Swiss Germans can
communicate with other Germans relatively well.

[Court_1]

> he seemed alright giving interviews afterwards in London.-

Of course, that is because you have no trouble understanding "Spanish
Primate" but species higher up in the food chain such as humans beg to
differ! ;)

[ed scheuert]

Yeah, I'm sure. I've lived in both the Schwyyzertueuetsch speaking
portion Switzerland and southern and northern Germany. The reason the
Swiss can communicate well with Germans is that the Swiss are speaking
accented High German (their second language which they start learning
in school at age 6) and not Swiss German. I know Germans who say it
took them a year of living in Switzerland before they felt like they
understood Swiss German.

"oh no, has Ulyseeeees tried to jump on the Djoker bandwagon like

Bullshit. I never called Djoker a "retarded sea monkey" and I have
never been a fan of his. So you're wrong on both counts. I never
"pretended" I was a fan of Djoker's. He's pretty odious to me, though
I root for him to beat Nadal, of course. That doesn't make me a fan of
Djokovic.

Unless it was a different Ulysses. Anyway, I wasn't trying to razz
you about it. I just thought it was a colorful, funny description. :)

I'm sure he's learned some Spanish by now. When you speak four languages
it's not hard to add a fifth that's close to one of them.

[Ulysses]

Federer does not speak any Spanish beyond a few words. He has said
this repeatedly, most recently again when he played Madrid in May.
