Eva Mendes [1] is trying to teach her kids Spanish. Admittedly, it could be going better. The actress recently stopped by The Talk, and on the subject of her two daughters, 4-year-old Esmeralda [2] and 3-year-old Amada [3], Eva joked that they've mastered Spanglish. "We're trying to teach the kids Spanish, and it's harder than I thought because I speak Spanglish, and that's what they're picking up," she said. Before imitating her daughters, Eva added, "It's adorable, but it's technically not a language."

She actually shared a similar sentiment in an interview with POPSUGAR [4] earlier this year. Eva told us, "We're working on Spanish with them. They love their grandpa, and they know that Abuelo doesn't speak English. They communicate great, because they speak a little Spanish, it's practiced every day."

Eva also opened up about previously not being set on having children [5]. What changed her mind? Simply put, "Ryan Gosling [6]." She added, "I was never one of those women who really wanted children, and then I fell in love with Ryan." Watch the heartwarming interview clip above.
