How Many Languages does Gordon Ramsay speak?

Celebrity Top Chef Gordon Ramsay may provide entertainment on television in the kitchen with his apprentices.

But did you know that behind closed doors and the camera lights, the famous chef is a polyglot.

Here is all the languages Gordon Ramsay can speak as well as fun insights about your favorite British TV celebrity cordon bleu restaurateur.

What Languages does Gordon Ramsay Speak?

Does Gordon Ramsay Speak French?

Absolutely, Gordon Ramsey is fluent in French event though you do not get to hear him speak French that often in his television shows.

How do we know that he speaks French?

When he was coming up between age 19 and 22, he actually studied French cuisine first in London with the guidance of his friend Marco Pierre White at Harveys restaurant under Jean Claude Breton.

It was Breton who provided an opportunity to Gordon Ramsey to become his number 2 at a ski resort in the French Alps.

His transition from the Alps to Paris when he was 23 led Ramsay to meet more talented French chefs such as Guy Savoy and Joel Robuchon.

How well does Gordon Ramsay Speak French?

Gordon Ramsey French speaking skills are just as smooth as his recipes.

As a French speaking native, I can tell that he is not a Parisian or someone from Marseilles or Lyon but to a non-French speaker, he sounds just as good as any of the celebrities who speak French.

I would even venture to say that he sounds better than most because he immersed himself in that culture for at least 5 years.

Therefore, there is an element of authenticity that surpasses learning from books or tapes or any nonphysical presence in the environment.

Here is a short video of Gordon Ramsey in Paris roasting a Brazilian chef in French, s’il vous plait.

Is Gordon Ramsay Fluent in Italian?

Gordon Ramsay is capable of speaking Italian because he held a personal chef position for several years following his Parisian experience that led him for a year to Sicily and Sardinia, Italy.

He extensively studied Italian cuisine as well therefore, it is safe to conclude that he understands most of the Italian culinary vocabulary.

Now, if you are to challenge him to write a whole thesis in Italian, that may present a bigger challenge for him.

In summary, he receives a passing Grade in Italian with the full proficiency still needing to be validate.

Can Gordon Ramsay speak Spanish?

In his business dealing, Gordon Ramsay may have picked up some concepts in Spanish.

However, that does not infer that his is fluent in Spanish or can find his way home from a game at Bernabeu where fellow polyglot Luka Modric cultivates La Pelota in the midfield.

FINAL THOUGHTS on Gordon Ramsay Spoken Languages

Traveling and learning different cuisines of the world have enabled Gordon Ramsey to master multiple languages.

We do not always get to see him display his multi-lingual skills on Television so maybe I may suggest this for a future show: a cooking school show where the requirement is to express oneself in just one language.

As for the title of such entertainment, Language Cook-off of course!
