" Every year, hordes of young models arrive in New York City from every corner of the globe&amp;amp;#8212;and once upon a time now-veteran-supermodel Gisele Bundchen was one of them. &amp;quot;When I came here for the first time, it was kind of challenging because I didn&amp;#x27;t speak English. I had to go on all these castings, I was 16 years old, and I only spoke Portuguese and a little bit of Spanish,&amp;quot; Bundchen told Jimmy Fallon. How did she finally learn? &amp;quot;My wonderful cassette tapes of Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey saved my life,&amp;quot; she said. As for her favorite songs? &amp;quot;There were a couple,&amp;quot; Bundchen says, before bursting into song. &amp;quot;Mama, you know I love you!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;They were great teachers,&amp;quot; she says, &amp;quot;so I have to thank them one day if I ever meet them in person.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
