I think it's impressive that she speaks them with that much confidence and she sounds like she put in the hours to learn each one. I just think that Romance languages like Portuguese, Catalan and most French feel like cheating for Spanish speakers and vice-versa, though. It's not uncommon for us to learn those languages in a few months. Still, mad respect for reaching out to her fans like that.
I'm a Spanish speaker that is afraid of French. I cannot make any of those sounds.
What helped me was Michael Thomas's method for learning French. I literally played the CD once back in college and most of it stuck because the grammar is similar to Spanish and he makes it easy to learn. French vocabulary is a bit of a guessing game but it's easier once you get the hang of it. You should give it a try, it only takes like a couple of days of passive listening.
