The 26-year-old celebrity, who regrets that her parents didn’t raise her in the language of her grandparents, plans to change that with her child.
Alba recently revealed that her father preferred to speak to her and her brother in English, so that they could be perfect little Americans. The beauty eventually learned Spanish, but only through hard work.
During an interview with Latino magazine, the actress said, "I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn’t grow up with it."
Alba’s unborn child with her boyfriend, Cash Warren, will be raised in a Spanish environment for the first three years, until he or she begins school in English.
