It depends how Hellenized they were. Most Jews could converse in either Hebrew or Aramaic. (By the 300s BCE, Aramaic was starting to become dominant over Hebrew.) All Hellenized Jews could speak Koine Greek. Some of the Hellenized Jews were so enamored with Greek culture that they only knew how to speak Koine Greek and were no longer capable of speaking Semitic languages, but this was the minority.
