Híjole! Eva Longoria Gets Her Español On At Benefit Gala

Eva Longoria Parker has been all about embracing her cultura Latina these days.  From her heated disdain for the Arizona Immigration bill, to announcing last year that she'd be going to school to get in touch with her Chicano roots.  But it's not very often we hear the 'Desperate Housewife' sounding off en Español.

La actriz was interviewed en Español at this past weekend's 'Playing for Hope' benefit gala, which she co-hosted with futbolista Rafael Márquez.  En la entrevista, la actriz revealed how she ended up working with Rafa to host the event.

"Pos somos buenos amigos y el es una persona que tiene un gran corazon como yo, y quiere ayudar los niños..."

I'm sorry... did she say "pos"? Como buena Mexicana, La Longoria is starting to pick up on some hearty south-of-the-border slang! But that doesn't mean las palabras come easy! Watch as she stumbles through a few sentences in Spanish ("película." Say it with me, Eva, "pe-lí-cula") in the clip below.

At least she looks fantastic, and is contributing to a worthy cause! The benefit was meant to raise funds for Rafa's Rafa Márquez Foundation, as well as Eva's Heroes, Eva's foundation to aid struggling children in San Antonio, TX.  Y, bueno, por lo menos hizo el intento de hablar en su lengua, verdad?
