Naya Rivera Says She Can't Speak Spanish: Top 10 Latino Celebrities Who Don't Speak Spanish
1. Selena Gomez: Justin Bieber's on again, off again girlfriend is half-Mexican, but admits that she doesn't speak her mother tongue. In an interview with Latina Magazine, she confessed that she wanted to get Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish because she doesn't speak it. The singer and actress said she wants to learn it because she felt uncomfortable trying to speak Spanish in interviews.
2. James Roday: The actor on USA's hit show Psych is really named James David Rodriguez (he took on an "Anglo" name because he didn't want to pigeon-hole himself into Spanish-type roles). Regardless, even though he was raised by his father's Mexican family, he doesn't speak a word of Spanish.
3. Jessica Alba: the actress known as MiserAlba in some circles because of her sour attitude vehemently denies her Hispanic heritage, and insists she doesn't speak Spanish.

But when she realized that she couldn't memorize the lyrics the night before she was due to enter the studio, she recorded the song half in English and half in Spanish.
7. Selena: the late Tejano music legend was best known for her Spanish songs, while her English songs were hits after her death. However, as her biopic starring Jennifer Lopez demonstrated, she didn't speak or understand a word of Spanish, and learned many of her hit songs phonetically.
