Kruger is Losing Ability to Speak Native German
12/16/07
German actress Diane Kruger has spent so long speaking English, she's
losing her ability to speak her native tongue.
The 31-year-old has forged a career in English-speaking movies while
living in the U.S. - and confesses she now struggles to hold down a
conversation with her own family.
Kruger says, "More and more it is (become my first language). I've
actually never done a movie in German. I would be a little worried about
it I think.
"When I talk to my mom I speak in German. But I'm starting to have
to really thing about the words I'm going to use."
