Can Zoe Saldana Speak Italian? She’s Fluent in Many Languages

In case you didn’t know, Zoe Saldana’s father, Aridio Saldana, is of Dominican ancestry, and her mother, Asalia Nazario, is of Puerto Rican descent, per IMDb. That said, it’s very common for Spanish-speaking parents to teach their children their native language.

As a result, it makes it easier to understand other languages such as Italian and Portuguese that all have Latin origins, per Pimsleur.
