La joven cantactriz, who is Italian on her mother's side and Mexican on her father's side, recently admitted to Latina that occasionally she gets nervous at Latin awards shows because she’s not entirely confident in her Spanish speaking skills.

"I really want to get Rosetta Stone, because I really need to learn my language. 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."

Pobrecita - you get an E for Effort, Selena! However, like other A-list Latinas before her, Gomez believes you have to speak Spanish fluently to be a "real" Latina.

"At first I did, but then I started to see all these people that accepted me regardless of the fact that I didn’t speak it."

We're with you Selena! The Disney starlet, who is currently putting the finishing touches on her next album A Year Without Rain (out September 21), is also fresh off an Emmy Award win for the Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie," which was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program last week at the Creative Arts ceremony, during which awards that don't make it onto the Primetime show due to time constraints are presented.

Our Selena - such a role model!
