I'm sure it's really difficult to sing in a different language. The lyrics are probably meaningless (sometimes).
I agree with you completely. Different language, even if you know it very well will be always foreign, different than this what you are accustomed to. Some expressions are unique for language, hard to translate. I could only think that I know English, but a lot of expressions are pretty hard understandable for me.
And her Spanish, well, I can say that French have some natural predispositions to speak Spanish, it's a bit easier for them, as those languages are a bit similar to each other.

The basic words are ok (sort of) but they all change in the context of the sentence. Nightmare!
I warned you! Basic words are easy, but we have very complex grammar, 7 cases for a noun. And context is really important in Polish, we almost always neglect subject. And we have veery many different idiomatic expressions.
