Ariana Grande is an American singer and actress, who has also been a coach on The Voice for two years.
The question everybody wants to know is what languages does Ariana Grande speaks? She speaks fluent English and she can also speak Italian, Spanish, French, and Japanese.
She has been performing since the age of 10 and now has a total of five albums and two Grammy Awards to her name. In 2010 she signed a recording contract with Republic Records and released her first album, “Yours Truly”.
The Beginning
Ariana Grande has achieved great success as a singer since her debut album, Put Your Hearts Up, was released in 2011. The album failed to make an impact on the charts, however.
In April 2013 she released her second album, Yours Truly, which also did not succeed commercially. However, Grande’s third album, My Everything turned out to be her first great success that reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
Summer 2014 may have seen the wave of artists like Iggy Azalea and Lorde take over America, but it was Ariana Grande who stole the spotlight. Perhaps it’s because the singer only released her first studio album, Yours Truly, just a couple of months before these other artists found their way into the limelight.
Or perhaps it’s because she was too busy slaying as Cat on Broadway in “Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again.
Grande’s Achievement
Since then, Ariana Grande has had an impressive few years. She released her debut album, Yours Truly, in 2013; was featured on Sinatra’s “One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)” in 2012, and started playing Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon’s Victorious in 2010.
But since she has gained her fame, she’s also faced criticism for not being talented enough to be successful. Ariana has also made appearances in several TV shows, most notably being Sam & Cat which aired on Nickelodeon for 2 seasons.
When she was 17, she released her first studio album titled “Yours Truly. The “ponytail” style she has become famous for has also been adopted by many of her followers.
She is most well known for her singing achievements and popularity around the world, but this is not all that she does. She has also established herself as a fashion icon to many of her devoted fans.
Language, Culture, and Faith
This article will tell you about the languages Grande speaks and a few things about her faith and culture.
Origin
The origin of the name Ariana, as well as the story behind it, remains a mystery. There persists popular fan belief which associates Ariana with being a Latina due to her Florida background. Some fans think she is Spanish because of her last name, while others consider her
the product of a Jamaican father and a Puerto Rican mother. It’s not uncommon for people to think that they are weird, eccentric, loud, and Italian.
But while some may be using the term to describe themselves in a derogatory manner, others are cherishing it proudly. For one girl, in particular, being weird was her strength. The girl in question goes by the name of Ariana Grande.
At the age of four, she started performing at local talent shows with her older brother Frankie.
English
Ariana Grande is a native-born American as well as an English-speaking singer from Florida. This is not surprising considering her upbringing as a Roman Catholic, which mandates the use of the English language in religious instruction and other aspects of life.
She gained fame after she auditioned for “The Voice” at 13 years old. Even though she has a high-pitched voice, it was refreshing to hear someone with an average voice that could still sing well. In many of her songs, she has shown her support for the LGBTQ community.
In one song, she says “I don’t care what they say/I love who I want to love today.” In another, she sings “you can’t stop me lovin’ you” to a man that society perceives to be homosexual.
Spanish
Many of her fans consider Ariana Grande to be Spanish as her last name in the language translates to “large” or “great.” But it translates to the s. The Grammy-winning recording artist, actress, and designer is a multi-talented performer who is fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish.
In a recent interview with Time Out, Grande was asked how aware she was of the links between her last name and the language, to which she responded “We don’t speak Spanish in my family.”
In another interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Ariana Grande said that when she was younger her parents would take her back to Florida for Spanish lessons.
Grande made a cameo in Shakira’s single “La La La (Brazil 2014)” in 2014 and sang in Spanish in “Problem,” which also features Iggy Azalea. This is Grande’s first time touring with Shakira and she excitedly tweeted about it on Tuesday: “I’m opening for Shakira!
Other Languages
Many celebrities are known for learning languages to communicate with the country they are performing in. Ariana Grande is no exception to this. As she prepares for her international tour, Grande has been learning French and also knows a little Japanese.
The singer has said that she has wanted to “be able to speak Japanese fluently” since she was four years old because she loves Japanese culture.
