Thanks again for the answers. For what I have been reading and what I know of DD I think her case is rather a 'I cannot do it and therefore I will not even try it' thing. She speaks three languages without any accent and after a few days in France she was able to imitate French language - including the french r. She knows the name and sound of almost all the letters in Spanish and Dutch.

It does not make any sense - she should be able to discern the sounds of the words. Maybe it is like when she was convinced that she could not count more than 20 because it was too difficult for her.

I will keep practicing with her in Spanish...
