Welcome to the site!

No this is not her official website. Her official site has been inactive for a while. We're hoping once her new album is out that an official website will surface.

I'd say 2 to 3 years is enough...

Or have you seen 2 to 3 years old French kid that isn't fluent in French ?




Altho... if we are speaking of us... well, it will take lifetime and we still aren't fluent. Ok, some learns it but some won't... even if you know the language well, you still seem to have trouble speaking it equally fluently as native.

I know for example couple English and Japanese people who have been living here 15 to 20 years and they never learned to speak Finnish fluently (even tho, they do speak it everyday since they are teachers). They even knows different accents of Finnish and got no trouble with them too (no more trouble than I have... since some of the accents are just bizarre ). They got no trouble speaking it, nor understanding it but it still aren't as fluent as my Finnish is. You can clearly hear that they aren't native Finns.

Well, of course Finnish and French isn't same... But the same problem exists in both cases. Only 1 out of very many will succeed to learn the foreign language so fluently that it can't be heard when he/she talks.

To me, it really wouldn't matter if French people can tell I'm American by my accent. I would hope to eventually work some of the "English" out, but I guess it also depends on your definition of fluent. If you mean that you can't even tell that it's one's second language, that would be a pretty tall order to fill, jmo.

Yeh to be honest, I don't care whether they can or cannot tell if I'm native. As long as I can hold a conversation with a native about anything this world can offer, I'm happy
