Actress Jessica Alba is trying to bring her Mexican roots into family life, because her daughters are surrounded by Hollywood friends.
The actress, 34, grew up surrounded by her family's rich heritage, but she said it is tough reminding her daughters Honor and Haven where they came from, reported E!Online.
"I grew up around my Mexican-American grandparents. My grandmother was an incredibly strong woman, a great influence on me. I was also surrounded by 'tios' (uncles) and 'tias' (aunts) at a lot of family events.
"My kids don't have same constant proximity, but I make sure they know where they came from and that they spend time with their relatives, but they're not surrounded by it all the time. We have different cultures in the house."
But the actress insists her daughters will learn to speak Spanish.
"They know how to ask for besos (kisses) and leche (milk)! They are going to be global citizens and will need to understand many languages, including Spanish, to make a difference in the world.
