Audrey Hepburn Speaking 6 Languages

[@rareaudreyhepburn]

I made this video in honor of Audrey Hepburn who passed away 28 years ago today.

[@reidesuga]

i really like to hear her voice in English. She talked like she was singing. So melodious

[@ajs41]

She sounds a bit like a member of the royal family when speaking English.

[@kforest2745]

That’s stage talk. It’s for advertising. It’s meant to manipulate your attention span.

[@leslieackerman4189]

If you understood the others, you would find them melodious as well

[@randolphpinkle4482]

I found her English voice the least authentic. So affected.

[@sodarkherhair78]

You know what's wrong with you ? Nothing.

[@pgancedo9299]

Her spanish was very good even tho she used some Italian words to fill in when she didn’t know the Spanish word. So impressive!!

Audrey is my ultimate role model. She not only inspired me to learn my 6 languages, but also showed me that being attractive doesn't necessarily require big curves (I'm thin like she was) and obvious seduction. She's beautiful, elegant, classy, well spoken, intelligent, and a true lady. Timeless 💖💖💖

[@juhannusruusu]

*petite* girls are overshadowed by today's bodies ... big & curvy ... every girl is beautiful in her own way and every person ... males and females has their own likings ... but in general, a ''perfect'' woman's body is slim or skinny ... thinner than a man's body, just like Audrey's.

[@dianabecker9568]

I would love to be as thin as she was.She looked so elegant.

[@madhurimachatterjee5787]

She suffered from debilitating malnutrition in childhood and cancer later in life.

[@josealmeida76]

What languages did you learn?

[@noxuSussy]

Beautiful, smart, and has a heart. How is she so perfect 😭❤️

[@rovanajean9550]

the way i've learned about life is perfection has a price to pay. Audrey suffered from wars greatly, and she had some PTSD about it and couldn't play Anne Frank because it would be too traumatic for her. I speculate that she knows so much languages because of her time in war, working with many people from many places with many languages. my point being, she is perfect, that's undeniable (lol Aurora was inspired by her), but she suffered so much pain that we nowadays could only imagine.

[@noxuSussy]

@@Hannari-xt6nr so you hate her PARENTS because THEY were evil? Okay. I don't see how that proves anything about Audrey. She is a humanitarian because she suffered through wars. Using your logic, I should hate american or japanese people since their forefathers were colonialists too, right? I don't understand how parents' sins should also burden their child even if they are doing good things in life.

[@cinnamon709]

You chose the best clips! And I’ve always heard she spoke German as well. Glad to finally see a clip of it.

[@rareaudreyhepburn]

Thank you! I truly appreciate your kind words. My friend reminded me of her trip to Munich and it just so happened I had that video in my collection. I was so delighted to find that clip of her speaking German. It's so rare to see her speaking German. Maybe we'll find more footage in the future.

[@c.s.oneill2079]

I agree with one of the commenters below that her voice was the most beautiful and perhaps natural (as one might expect) in Dutch. In speaking speaking English in 1954, she displayed the most elegant English (to American ears) accent. I also thought that she sounded similarly fluid and euphonious in French. She sounded so happy and unforced in Dutch, however. (And I don't speak a word of Dutch.)

[@nondescript2892]

As a native dutch speaker I can attest that her dutch is of an almost royal quality...upper class and sophisticated....some may call it affected but it certainly is of a class you rarely hear anymore in the netherlands today

[@EVanDoren]

In German too. Very beautiful.

[@stevecarter8810]

Yes, her English was upper class and almost impeccable

[@poegia5479]

She showed us "Who is the angel if we can see in this earth", she was a great human being not only just a great actress...

You can tell Dutch is her native language. All her others are fantastic too, what a talent.

Yep, she was born in Belgium!

[@Quelquesfoi]

Ze was al Nederlands maar het is echt verbazingwekkend dat ze 6 talen spreekt

Of course,she knew German, she lived in Amsterdam occupied by the SS for 6 years, they needed to follow their orders.

[@pinky-27]

She was Dutch but was schooled in England. One reviewer said her voice was a velvety purr. I agree with that.

[@SiimKoger]

Dutch and English are her native languages and I imagine that French and German had been around her from a young age. It's less about talent and more about childhood immersion.

What a fair lady! So much elegance, kindness and royalty. Nowadays, you hardly will flnd women like her.

Audrey was a stunningly beautiful creature, and was one who seemed to be full of light, too, despite having lived through the health issues and harsh conditions of her youth.

[@EsterHorbach-it9tb]

Interesting how a voice changes when speaking another language. Of course Dutch is her native language, you heard that when she was speaking German. Her English sounded very gentle. Impressing. She was a wonderful actress. I miss people like her and her movies.

[@Astonyshing]

As a competent linguist who can speak 4 languages (English, French, German and Dutch), I am impressed by people who can manage more than that. Audrey Hepburn was an amazing lady though and let us never forget her contribution to humanitarian causes 😊

[@garymarzuki8391]

I always suspected that she knew German, though until now i had never seen her speak it. I figured that she myst have learned some during her war time experiences. Audrey Hepburn was One In A Million. RIP Sweet Audrey❤

[@ApatiEktetheimenos]

What a glorious age for being an Actress or Celebrity, when they had dignity, class, and intelligence. Truly, Audrey was a very gifted and unique woman, and it seems her humilitty, made her incredibly beautiful.

[@mjp96]

I could only dream of this. I know Spanish but am not fluent. She is in at least six. Amazing.

[@exeter1588]

She was an extraordinary woman.

[@pbasswil]

She's someone who learned very early to always project a persona of grace, modesty, and inner joy. I'm not persuaded that internally she was always so happy as she looked; but her manner & speech instantly made everyone she met her friend and ally. From some in-depth interviews she gave, it becomes apparent she wasn't taken in by her own success (both in human relations and in show biz): on the contrary, she battled life long insecurities.

[@MasakyoRenSai]

What an amazing woman……❤️

There are some comments regarding her English accent. This is not regioal It was called Received Pronunciation or RP. This was required by broadcasters in the 1950s.

Anne Frank and Audrey Hepburn were born in Holland in 1929 and lived only a short distance apart. While the Frank family hid in the secret annex in Amsterdam, Audrey and her non-Jewish family faced different challenges during World War II. Audrey nearly starved to death, her uncle was executed, and her brother was sent to a concentration camp. Audrey herself participated in the Dutch resistance, performing in ballets to raise money for the cause. Years later, when Audrey became a famous actress, she was offered the role of Anne Frank in a film about her life. Despite Otto Frank's request, Anne's father, she refused because she felt too close to the story and could not handle the emotional burden of playing the role. Hepburn said it was as if it had happened to her own sister, and she felt the pain and tragedy too deeply.

[@andrew097]

There is a young pop star in Korea today who lists Audrey Hepburn as her role model. That is some influence through the ages.

[@lliamjurdom9505]

A gracious lady

[@ZadenZane]

It's a shame she only made films in English. There's enough English actresses (can't think of an actor offhand) who made French films: Charlotte Rampling, Jane Birkin, Kristen Scott-Thomas. Audrey Hepburn would have been great in French films. Then there's people like Omar Sharif. He acted in Arabic, French and Italian, as well as English.

[@reuterromain1054]

SO WHAT? I SPEAK 4. SHE HAD A BIG HEART. THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT!

[@omnivorous65]

Impressive. It is a bit unfornuate that in those days an actress was primarily esteemed for her beauty and her intelligence was largely ignored as irrelevant or hardly desirable. Few would know that Marilyn Monroe was highly intelligent and extremely well read. What makes Audrey Hepburn so special is her intelligence in relation to the moral challenges of her days and how she responded. There is a phantastic book "The evil that men do" by Brian Masters, which contemplates both the nature of good and evil. A chapter of the book is about Audrey Hepburn and her response to humanitarian catastrophes in her time. In fact, he concludes quite convincingly that she meets all the criteria of a saint. And those criteria a rigorous.

I am wondering how could she speak fluent italian already back in 1965? Her husband was Mel Ferrer until 1968, then married italian Andrea Dotti in January 1969 so guess she moved to Italy around that time…. One way or another Audrey was extremely talented, beautiful and marvelous! She lives in our hearts forever!

[@benleung6331]

There’s a photo book named “Audrey in Rome” that chronicles the twenty some years Audrey living in Rome. It was divided into three sections, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Apparently Audrey had lived in Italy long before she married her second husband.
