Reigning Miss Universe,Stefania Fernandez from Venezuela,who is currently in India to campaign against female foeticide and AIDS with designer Sanjana Jon,says the toughest assignment so far in her career has been to master the English language.

“When I won,I was told that I have to learn English,and I was like,Oh my God! Learning English for me was pretty hard,but conversing in English has been the most difficult task since I won the title,” trills the 19-year-old.

But in the short time she has been here Fernandez says she has picked up a smattering of Hindi though.

“I can say ‘chalo,chalo’ and of course,namaste,” she grins.
