je suis enchantee de vous voir

[wish4green]

very touching story!

Yanina is awesome!

[pietje164]

she speak english,french and dutch

[ksmith05]

i think it was french and then flemish. it's not german. but Flemish would make sense because she is from Belgium :)

i think her being able to speak 3 languages and so proficiently is awesome!

[pastisan]

it's Flemish, but she probably also speaks German since it's one of Belgiums three national languages next to Flemish/Dutch and French

[pastisan]

it's not German, it's Flemish... like a sublanguage of Dutch spoken in the Falnders region(Belgium), though she probably also speaks German since it's also a one of Belgium's three national languages next to Flemish/Dutch and French

[obezjan84]

french

[berfyberf]

was that french and german? anyone please.

[deejaydroppa]

French and Dutch (Nederlands). Both official languages in Belgium (German also, hehe), but she pulls it off very good...

[brucewayne909]

it's almost as if the media are testing her to see how she answers the questions...she seems extremely bored as I'm sure she's answered these questions so many times already.. . I'm assuming the third language is her native flemish.. yanina w. & caroline w. should be playing in the u.s open final against each other not in the semi final

[yepeye]

i belgium you have four languages to learn (dutch, german, french and english)

Only in the flemish part of belgium.

[Egonias]

well, actually every1 in Flandres can speak 3 languages, because of the different languages in Belguim

On topic: Go yanina :D

[Frankabdl]

THAT'S BELGIUM 100%. Kim can do that too btw. In fact, two of those three languages are two of our three official languages (German is the third one). As for English; most of us get that as the third language at high school. But this isn't about our knowledge about languages is it? Yamina; you're a great athelete and I'm sure you'll get to that top 10 one day...; maybe even more..., :-)

[BELOTICO]

3 languages in Belgium is the average

[hannejoos]

That is very normal in Belgium. We have 3 official languages and people from the dutch part have to learn languages because nobody speaks ours;

[bill174174]

She's really cool, and a great player.

[radovanec]

she´s amazing!

[cab84202]

::OO:O:O:O:O!

inceible!!!!!!!!!

[copperman]

She is amazing in tennis and languages, but what is really amazing is what she has accomplished at a young age after losing her mother. Her father seems to be a great example as well. I hope her success continues.

[365to173repubsPWNED]

I hope she wins the Open...her or Wozniacki

[cathwitness]

Three languages and fluently too!

Wow!

[Piraatman]

What so special about it?Flemings are able to speak 2,3,4 languages :) . final us open :) Wickmayer vs Clijster

[leander1991]

that's because we have a french part in belgium ;)

[PhotonDrive]

Amazing - she reels off 3 languages fluently, plus switching in mid-question - with a slight change of expression & attitude in each language! Go Yanina!
