Gwyneth Paltow’s Kids Will Be Fluent In Spanish
Forget London, forget the US, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, Spain is where the action is. That’s why she’s schooling her little ones to learn the language of her “second home.”
Hold on, if she lives in a house in London, and Spain is her “second home”… does that make the USA her third home? As in 3rd place? The bronze medal? Ouch. That stings… and right before the 4th of July too!
Since her days as a foreign exchange student, Gwyneth Paltrow has been a lover of all things Spain-related. Still enamored with the country and its culture, Gwyn has been teaching her kids Spanish and trying get them hooked.
“Moses speaks speaks a little bit, but understands everything. Apple speaks a lot,” she reveals in documentary Spain… On The Road Again, which she filmed last year.
If you feel working yourself into a righteous, pro-American anger, check out Gwyn’s recent interview, where she compares the histories of the USA and Spain. Or, as the Daily Mail puts it “belittling her home country’s 223 years of history compared to the older nation of Spain.”
‘Spain became a second home. It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old.
‘Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it’s from 500 B.C., it’s incredible.
‘Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren’t running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don’t always have their Blackberries on.’
