Football star Cristiano Ronaldo’s daughters are learning to speak in Arabic in Saudi Arabia.
A string of clips posted by Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodriguez on Instagram shows Alana and Bella singing a song in Arabic.
The Portugal and Al-Nassr player’s daughters sang “My family, my family, I love my mom, I love my brother…” in Arabic which has gone viral on social media platforms.
Ronaldo and Georgina live in Riyadh with their children, after the Portuguese star signed a historic deal with Saudi club Al-Nassr.
In one clip, Georgina wrote in Spanish tagging Ronaldo, “Our daughters already sing in Arabic.”
In another video clip, five-year-old Alana can be seen reciting the days of the week in Arabic, “Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.”
Georgina captioned the video, “Our daughters already speak in Arabic…”
It is believed that Georgina was using Google translate to understand what her daughters were saying. She later posted a video of the text translated from Arabic to English.
Last week, Ronaldo fulfilled the request of a boy from Syria who told rescue workers after a devastating earthquake in February that he wanted to meet the Portuguese star.
Nabil Saeed came face to face with his idol on Friday after being invited to watch his club Al Nassr play in Saudi Arabia.
Saeed made the request to rescue workers in Syria in a video shared on social media last month following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6.
More than 50,000 people have died as a result of the quake. The death toll in Syria is more than 5,900, authorities said.
