Even if her English was very limited 18 years ago at the start of her career, it's likely that she picks up more and more each day. I know that happens to me with French. I've heard before that she doesn't understand any English, but I find that very hard to believe.

I agree quite a bit with what Ray says. I think she understands quite a lot from listening to English songs and watching English movies. Still I think she lacks confidence in speaking English, because she has lacked experience with conversing with people who speak English on a regular basis, especially in Corsica where I found few people who were 'fluent' in the English language.
