Best Answer

He knew English of course. He seems to have studied Latin at school and uses occasional Latin phrases. He seems to have known French, not only because of the scene in Henry V where the Princess Katharine finds out, in French, that naughty French words are not so naughty in English, but also from small phrases dropped here and there throughout the Plays. He is able to lampoon Sir Andrew Aguecheek's lack of French "What is pourquoi?"
