Beyonce Taps Into Spanish Market

Beyonce Taps Into Spanish Market
Beyonce is looking to conquer that latin record market with the release of six Spanish songs for the Deluxe Edition of her hit album B'day. The singer had to take some basic Spanish lessons in order to sound credible when singing the songs.

She says, "I did grow up in Houston, Texas, so I was around Spanish; I took it at school but I completely forgot it. I had the best coach; I did it phonetically, every sentence I recorded maybe four times."

And her Spanish is being praised by language experts and critics alike, who are impressed with her bilingual skills and accent. She says, "That's a great compliment."


I'm sure Shakira gave her a few pointers as well.
