Viviana Gonzalez writes: Dear Shelly, they say that Christina 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.
