Her first language is English. She learned gymnastics in French. She speaks to her grandparents in Greek.
Meet Vivi Babalis, the trilingual Georgia GymDog.
Babalis grew up in Montreal and quickly experienced these three different languages at an early age. English is what her parents, Sia and Chris Babalis, spoke at home. But at the young age of 4, she joined a club gym, which was led by a coaching staff that spoke solely in French. At first, there was a language barrier. While learning the sport, Babalis also learned how to speak French, and this was before she ever attended a school.
