Roland Garros finalist Novak Djokovic is adding another entry to his resume: French. The 33-year-old shared one of his language lessons on Twitter.

The Serbian is very capable of learning languages: He already knows Serbian, English, German, Italian, and, of course, French. In the video, Djokovic learns the inflection differences between "intention" and "attention".

Djokovic has gotten to use his French skills during his run to the final this fortnight. There's no doubt he was hoping to whip it out on Sunday after the final in very different circumstances. Instead of showing it off after a victory, the 17-time Grand Slam was dismissed by Rafael Nadal, 6-0, 6-2, 7-5.

The bright side is he did get to speak a little French in the trophy presentation and the 1,000-capacity crowd ate it up.
