Mariska Hargitay is a Polyglot
In scenes where Mariska Hargitay is speaking to a victim or a perp in Spanish, she’s not reading off cue cards. What’s a polyglot, you ask? A polyglot is someone who knows and is able to speak several languages. Hargitay is fluent in five languages, much like her mother, Jayne Mansfeld (who had an IQ of 149). She speaks Hungarian, French, Spanish, English, and Italian.
