learned Spanish last year, but that is not true because I purchased
the 'Just Be Free' CD. When did she really learn Spanish - when
she was younger, because you and her dad spoke it a lot, but then
she forgot a little bit? Please answer me back. A very confused
fan.
Shelly: Hi! 'Just Be Free' was a group of old demos that
she made when she was 15 years old, that some guys got hold of and
made into an album and tried to sell without even asking us. It's
not something we authorized at all.
As for Spanish, Christina used to speak Spanish with me (I'm fluent)
when she was small, as her biological dad and I only spoke Spanish
in the home. But when I took her and left, we moved away where no
one spoke Spanish and it was hard to continue it...so with time,
she forgot all she used to know. She's working with a tutor to try
and re-learn it, though, and she's determined to succeed.
