Jennka Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Gisele Bündchen was raised in Southern Brazil, a Brazilian region largely settled by German immigrants[5]; both her parents are of German descent (her great-great-grandparents immigrated to Brazil in the late 19th century). Bündchen's parents are fluent in German, although Gisele does not speak it, Portuguese being her native language. Gisele studied the German language while was at school but today she doesn't remember the language anymore.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisele_B%C3%BCndchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*BeTtY*~ Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I always thought she was German years ago when I wasn't all into models and just knew about her then i found out she was brazillian, but I came out right anyways since she's pure german..& she looks very german.& her name of course which is pronounced soo wrong everywhere, in German it's Bun-hen (like beau-ty) you barely hear the D unlike the way it's pronounces in the U.s.
