Her story reminds me of the story of Squanto”, an indian from the Massachusetts Bay area. Kidnapped by coastline English traders, and taken to England, he learned English, became a Christian and received his freedom. Later he came back to America, and was present in Massachusetts when the Pilgrims were coming out of their terrible first winter, and starving. Providentially Squanto stepped out of the forest, speaking English and taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn, etc. , and become self supporting.

I think he actually was taken by Spanish, or ended up with them. Some way or other, he ended up learning English.
