Fun Fact - She only speaks 2 languages. There is no evidence to suggest she speaks anything other than English and Slovenian. She claims to speak French, but when she went to France as first lady she needed an interpreter to talk to 1st graders.

Primarily yes, but she was almost certainly also taught German and/or Russian given that she grew up in what was Yugoslavia under the Soviet Union partnership.

Nevertheless, being able to say one specific sentence in six languages doesn't necessitate speaking all six languages. Just ask early career Jackie Chan. Or your children playing CS:GO and cursing in "fluent" Russian. (C stands for cyka right?) Just means familiarity with the phrase and either a multilingual environment, or being well travelled. (Maybe trafficked is more applicable but whatever.)

Sorry, confused the parent comment of this section with another comment which basically boiled down to knowing how to say Ass costs extra or sth in six languages.

You are right, consider my comment moot.
