Speaking English is just one of the main  skills movie actors are often required to have.

But it's a skill that not all movie actors and  actresses develop at the same level.

Let's watch together some of our favorite movie actors and  actresses and check how good their English is.

Before we check if your favorite movie star  is among the ones we've picked for today,

This way you won't miss out on any of our videos  about English and other languages.

It is a family drama! It is, you know, it revolves around the theme of family

and family that you're born into and, um...

family that you find along the way, you know?

It also talks about, you know, the desire to fit in, you know?

because they just want to belong to something.

They want to have somebody watching their backs and,

Could you even think this man is not  a native English speaker?

I mean... come on... his English is so good!

He uses a wide range of vocabulary, he uses phrasal verbs,

he uses expressions such as "the desire to fit in" and...

"to have somebody watching their back".  I am impressed!

Obviously, living in an English-speaking country for a long time  has made a positive impact on his fluency,

but we cannot deny: Rodrigo Santoro is a great inspiration  for all Brazilian students out there.

Because in Cannes, I wasn't expecting such a wonderful, wonderful prize!

So I was out of my mind! I was out of space...

Wait a minute! You can't say most other words  but you can say "discombobulated"? That's great!

I don't know about you, but I love accents.  And I love this particular interview with Roberto!

Roberto's English is obviously not as  good as Rodrigo's, the previous actor, 

He didn't always himself understand the natives,

however he wasn't ashamed to ask them to repeat

or even bothered having them making fun of his English.

And that's something that I want to point out to  all English learners:

Be prepared for natives to not always understand you,

or even laugh at you if you mispronounce a word  or make a funny mistake.

Don't take it as an offense.  Just laugh it off and learn by it!

In fact, we, native English speakers, we really appreciate it  when a non-native tries to speak our language

That's why we don't expect you to speak it perfectly.

And, regarding "accent",  unless it stops you from making yourself understood,

An accent brings identity,  it tells others who you are.

That's why at MosaLingua, we celebrate  all different types of accents.

Okay, okay... enough talking now.  Let's watch the next actor.

It can... yeah, I did when I came here first, because I tried to learn English

and I, and I started to watch TV and I watched CNN,

"okay, I will never learn this language".

And I said "okay, the day I will  understand them, I will be wrangled"

So I started...um.. I tried another channel. It was um... Bravo...

and I, and I started with The Kardashians.

Omar's English has improved so much throughout the years,  and his French accent has reduced significantly.

It is very gratifying to see him  speak English so well,

and also very satisfying to see him  shine as an actor.

OK. In the next clip, we'll see two  talented ladies that have a lot in common,

besides their looks and their professions.

One of them is from Mexico and the other one is from Spain.  Can you guess who they are?

Not my... not by blood, but she is like a sister to me.

Except for Salma. She and I eat a lot, both of us.

Fantastic, enigmatic, extraordinarily beautiful:

Do you understand what I mean about celebrating accents and not being ashamed of them?

Both of these ladies have strong accents  and they sound beautiful.

I can't imagine either of these women speaking differently.

Their English is not perfect, but it's still very good,  at an advanced level I would say.

And I'd say the reason their English sounds so similar

is because they share the same mother tongue: Spanish.

Let's briefly watch Penélope Cruz again,

further on into that interview, because  she does something interesting there.

I don't know the word in English... "despressurization?", "dispressurization?"...

Oh... "depressurization",  when there's no pressure in the cabine.

See? When she doesn't know a specific word in English,

she just tries to get it out  or asks the listener about it.

And to me this represents great communication and confidence.

Be confident when you speak English,  even if it's not your mother language.

Did you know that there are actually more people in the world  that speak English as a second language

Yes! Non-native English speakers  exceeds native English speakers.

And there are two other languages in the world  that have more native speakers

Spanish comes in second place with more than  450 million native speakers around the planet.

Can you figure out which language comes in first position?

The next actor we will watch is a hint to the answer!

Hi, I'm Jackie Chan! I'm going undercover in the Internet.

I train myself. Morning: karate, afternoon: hapkido,

at night: boxing. Mid of the night: health club.
