Arabella, who has been learning the language since she was 18 months old, donned a red embroidered dress as she sang a poem in Mandarin to celebrate the Chinese New Year in 2016

Yes, that’s the music, but with Chinese lyrics. I got the part where she said “Shin Nien Kwai Leh” ( Happy New Year ).

I’d be more impressed if she’d sung it in Gaelic or German, the languages of her ancestors.

Thank you for telling me that. I did not know that Ivana has the same command of languages as Melania does.
