I just watched a couple of videos Paula sent me the other day. One of them almost had me in tears of joy because I heard Lara speak my own mother tongue and she speaks it so well (I almost fell of my chair when Lara asked the guy if it was his first time in Belgium, she said Dit is de eerste keer). Do you know how it feels to hear your most favorite international artist speak your home language. It is an amazing feeling and especially if you so hopelessly in love with her and her music. The video I'm referring to is Cor Op Reis (Part 1 Holland 122004).mpg where Lara was interviewed in Belgium.
Lara just seems to amaze me more and more. I saw that she almost completely understood Dutch and I think that she will be able to understand me when I speak to her in Afrikaans. Afrikaans originated from Dutch and many of the words are pronounced and spelled exactly the same.
I will give you an example from the video to illustrate just for fun:
I'm referring to the part where the guy (I suppose his name is Cor) asks Lara if she writes all her own music.
If you look at the subscripts you will see the following line when Lara replies that she writes her own lyrics and melodies:
English: I write my own lyrics and melodies Dutch: Ik schrijf zelf de teksten en de muziek Afrikaans: Ek skryf self die lirieke en die musiek
Lara Fabian you are amazing!

She is absolutely amazing. She is a wealth of not only talent but of cultures and languages.

Yes and she got that wealth from her father and mother. I found out that her father is Flemish and that is where she learned Dutch (Netherlands).
Her father has been a great influence and her mother a great inspiration in her life. It is clear that Lara cares very much about family values as well as friendship.
