Selena Gomez (18) wants to speak her native tongue! The Wizards of Waverly Place star says she’d love to learn Spanish.

“I really want to get Rosetta Stone, because I really need to learn my language,” Selena said.

“I practice Spanish, but I can understand it better than I can speak it. So in a lot of my interviews that I did, recently, they would speak to me in Spanish and I would answer back in English. They were like, ‘You pick it up so easily’, but I don’t want to say it in Spanish because I’d be embarrassed if I mess something up.”

Selena recently admitted that she hates it when people say she’s “wholesome” — because it’s not a reflection of her real personality.

“The funny thing is, I really don’t like it when people say I’m wholesome,” she said.

“I don’t like that at all! I never said I was that and I never tried to portray it. I’m honestly doing what I feel like I’m doing… and I’d just like to figure out who I am.”
