No Shakespeare was not French. He was born and lived his whole life in England. However, the fact that one scene in one of his plays (Henry V) is written entirely in French suggests that he did speak and could write the language.

∙ 11y agoGreat question! Because there is a whole scene of Henry V which is entirely in French, and a second one which is sort of in French in parts. Here are some possibilities: he might have learned it at school, he might have learned it from his French landlord, Mr. Mountjoy (although he was not yet living with Mr. Mountjoy at the time he wrote Henry V), or maybe he just got someone else to write those scenes for him.
