@@hiupanddown Firstly, your comment is very rude. Secondly, I am a native English speaker from the UK, where we use ‘learnt’ as the past participle of learn, whereas Americans tend to use ‘learned’. A quick Google search would have saved you from humiliating yourself by painting yourself as a narrow-minded Anglophone who has nothing better to do than insult other people’s English
Dude, like 3500 years ago English and Spanish were basically the same language. These aren't truly foreign languages. If you take languages separate for just ~1000 years, you can understand about half. Military can teach someone who speaks English Spanish to a fluent level in probably like two-three months.
You must be pretty shite at speaking English, and that isn't a judgment of her fluency but your apparent lack of it. After 49 years my man! Tell me you are just down bad.
Wow! I can't believe she didn't speak English at all! 🤯 Her accent was SO good in Knives Out I just assumed she was bilingual. I have been learning English for decades and I can't get the accent right 😭 I need a pronunciation coach. Accents are so difficult to get right for me. It's not just the voice, too. Voices don't sound the same in different languages
Judas Iscariot not very true. I speak English fluently and I learned it through TV and music. I've never been to America in my life, but when I'd meet Americans, they'd always tell me that I sound very American and that my grammar is great. I can also speak and understand some Spanish because I grew up watching some Spanish teen TV shows. When people ask me how I learned a new language, I always tell them that music and TV are the best teachers.
It's also a lot easier when you have several opportunities to get an accent right in a movie scene... You don't get to see her in a non-stop spontaneous speaking session during the movie.
The same happened to me, even after many years i have a hispânic accent. Personally I do not believe her. Her family in cuba was part of the elite. I am pretty sure she recieved english classes when was a child.
Incorrect. Some languages are far easier to pick up then others. English to Korean for eg would take a lot longer than English to Spanish. Either way it’s no easy task haha
If you are immersed in the language, it isn't that hard. Mormon missionaries do it during the course of their 2-year missions in other countries. Their training actually begins immersing themselves in their host country's language before they even get there.
@@TacShooter It depends on how close the language is to your own. Obviously English contains a large amount of the same Latinate vocabulary as Spanish - información-information, estados-states etc, so it helps. Yes, the LDS is recommended by some (I know some people who've done it and served missions in various countries), but it does tend to mean you have a fairly restricted experience i.e. a lot of religious vocabulary and only certain types od experience, but good otherwise.
@@jammy-44 there's no difficult languages. Languages are actually meant to be easy, if they werent then peple would not speak em. They would just choose another easier language. Of course, transitioning from latin system to chinere or arabic is a challenge.But as he said, if you surround yourself by it you can speak in a few months any language. Maybe for americans that only speak one languege it can be more difficult to learn a new one. But most people are at least bilingual. English is my 5th languaga and I feel I could learn another language in a couple of months...
She must have a considerable talent with languages because she speaks with such confidence there. If she has achieved that in two years, that is incredible. It fits well with acting though. You need to have a good ear to hear when people throw in different nuances to their voices and replicate that yourself when you need it.
@@Ferchovicente It might be easier but it doesn't necessarily make it easy. For some people, yes, but for others they can still find it very difficult. It helps that she is still relatively young as well but I imagine she has a good deal of aptitude and, as I suggested, a good ear.
@@annandune nah! It's easier cuz even your friends or neighbors speak in that language, practice is everything and you practice the whole day in an English country.
@@Ferchovicente Yes, but some people still really struggle in spite of that. It is always better to learn a language in a country where they speak it as the native language and it will help people to learn a lot more quickly but there are still some very wide disparities between one person and another in terms of how quickly they pick it up which is why her achievement is still very noteworthy.
Everybody in the comment section seems to forget that the best way to learn a language is to move to the country whose language you want to learn. 2 years to fluently learn a language like she did seems about right with total emersion.
@@learnedeldersofteemo8917 Don't feel bad, my Dads lived in the USA for 30 and he still can't be understood. Hell i can't understand him half the time.
And now she is one of my favorite Bond Girls. Her role in the latest #JamesBond film, #NoTimeToDie was performed most wonderfully. The way her character was so effective and efficient, yet a little cute or ditzy was pulled off perfectly. Bravo, #AnaDeArmas.
She is so beautiful. Spanish is a main language in the US. Ana proved we can do what we want when we set our minds to it. I'm happy shes doing what she set out to do. #LatinaExcellence
I have to confess that I doubted it at first, thought she was being like those people who knew the basics but say they didn't, but I remembered that I follow a russian who moved to my country three years ago, learnt portuguese from scratch and speaks fluently now. It's not even the same alphabet.
She learn to speak english in two years, wowwww, nice, congrats, she speaks really good and also like not accent at all, I need to call the person that help her so I can get lessons, because me personally been trying 32 years, and can't get rid of the accent and also always have a hard time to write or speak with out making any mistakes, again, I admire her for that!
I don't think It's a problem having accents, really. I can communicate well and I am latina. People understading you is all that matters! The accent is part of our origin and story.
my coworker learned English after two years here, and she's Albanian. It's easy to learn different languages as long as you really have the desire to. Some people move abroad and are afraid to embarrass themselves so they just hang around people who speak their native language
Albanians can speak like 4 or 5 languages thanks to their own large alphabet. They can speak italian greek and german that have a terrible grammar, english is so easy .
right . that´s my case . i was so aaaafraid to make mistakes that i surrounded myself with spanish speakers, the result : one and half languages not two 🥲
Gets much harder the older you get. Yes it’s possible, but your brain creates those language pathways so much easier when you’re younger (like primary school and before age).
She is what made this country what it is. Ambitious people from other countries looking to be successful. No one is originally from here if you trace their roots back far enough.
I don't think she learned the language in the past two years without having an accent and she is an adult now. I learned English when I was 16 and I still have an accent that never disappeared. Talking about actors, Sofia Vergara and Salama Hayek are actors that learned the language in their adult years and their accents never disappeared to this day. Ana de Armas is from Spain so... she is no stranger of the English language in Spain.
Apart from english teachers she´s had accent teachers for sure, I mean if you work on your accent on a daily/weekly basis with a professional, you can learn any accent you want.
@Red Ona I know a lot of people that have the same problem. Talking about actors, look at Sofia Vergara, her heavy Spanish accent is worst than mine but it suits her. Sofia and Salma Hayek both learned Spanish in their adult years and their accent is there as expected.
There's accent training, some people are just not interested in speaking with native accent, but it's not impossible to lose the accent if you work on it, like Eiza Gonzalez for example, her accent is basically of a native speaker. Also for some people it's easier to catch up accents.
@@onlykismet Eiza Gonzalez grew up speaking English. She started traveling to the US as a child, she didn't have to learn English as an adult. When people learn the language as a child they pick up the right accent without the necessity of training to correct it.

Seriously??!! I still can’t believe he asked her , "what gave you the confidence to move."?. Geez buddy you crack me up. She had total confidence In her being successful because she knew she looked like that , and would have got jobs even though she couldn’t speak English at all. Trust me Ana knows exactly what Ana looks like. And it’s simply breathtaking
She did speak some English beforehand but also the reason why she moved to LA is because she knows she is really really really ridiculously good looking.
@Drexl Spivey English is my first language! I am indigenous to great Britain! WE INVENTED THE LANGUAGE!!!!! 🤣😂 🤣😂🤣😂 I speak really fluently but struggle a bit with grammar because I have a learning disability which makes it hard for me to write but my speech is perfect! I also speak one of the Celtic languages of the British isles too so yeah, a bilingo but a native English speaker for sure. WE INVENTED THE LANGUAGE AFTERALL!
@Drexl Spivey also, I may have a learning disability but I do believe "incorrect" and "wrong" have the same meaning except saying incorrect just sounds more formal that's all! To be wrong is to be incorrect!
She speaks with a university-degree level of English. Everything she says comes natural to her. Her learning program must have been intensive and some of the best. The school she went to are lucky to have an alumni who managed to become an international star in the span of a few years.
When learning English, there is only so much benefit to classroom time. You have to practice with native speakers to have a natural grasp of it. Someone to correct you when you say something wrong or on the correct word to use which isn't easy with our vocabulary being so large and complex.
Oh my god, she speaks so well for someone who had only learnt it two years prior to this interview! Very talented in more than one field
good actors are often good linguists because they have the ear for accents and pattern making
@Luiz as a former actor and someone who dabbles in music, I can attest to that.

As long as your structure is fine just work hard to master phonetics instead of fighting to replicate an accent
