Most versions I've seen in TV and movies can.
I'd assume all celestials can speak all languages ever created.

That's incredibly offensive.

Implying that a holy being could speak french makes me wanna barf

I feel like Odin would know French, not because he wanted to but because he got lost and ended up picking it up for insult purposes.

I enjoy the language despite butchering it every time, and I especially enjoy the French countryside. Pretty damn forgiving of a terrible accent, and with a smile.

Its Parisians that usually piss me off.

It wouldn't be their first language.
They'd speak it as well as if it were.

Both are much worse. I can forgive the French. They merely lost the birth lottery. It isn't thier fault they were born French. To learn it? Intentionally?
