Based on this video I'd rank his skills as follows: 1. Serbian 2. English -- these two are native or on par, at least in the professional context 3. Italian 4. French 5. German 6. Spanish --- the above are the languages in which he can have a conversation or improvise, with increasing difficulty -- 7. Portuguese - he basically repeated what Kuerten said, but next he came up with a proper sentence 8. Arab, Chinese, Japanese - in these 3 he learned a few basic phrases by heart, but his effort to pronounce Chinese correctly speaks for his linguistic prowess!

They are really tallented nation in many, many fields, not only for sport! By the way, in many sports, they are more than Kings!! But ............ For istance ...Italians are speaking so, so terrible other languages...and Russian too!! I heard it so many times!!

[@Donello]

Melania Trump is also from former Yugoslavia, yet her only more or less decently spoken language (beside her native Slovene) is English - and when I say "more or less" I mean it is not exactly elegant or sofisticated. Maybe she did speak French and Italian well when she was working in France and Italy, but noawadays they clearly suck.

[@alexeigoukov1109]

@@iva068 It very much depends on the concrete person and their individual abilities, attitudes and the opportunities they've had to learn languages. E. g. I am Russian, yet I have got seven working languages. I'm bilingual in Russian and German, since I moved to Germany when I was 9 years old. I speak and write fairly fluent English, as you can see for yourself (at least the writing part) and my other working languages are Italian, Spanish, French and Catalan, even though I don't get to practice them all with equal frequency. I've met fellow Russians with great Italian and French skills. So you cannot really generalise the way you do, "people from nation X are good at it", "people from nation Y are so-so" and "peoply from nation Z are terrible at it".
