"Angelina Jolie has learned a new language of love.&amp;quot;I love speaking Russian. It&amp;apos;s very, very hard. I find it a very interesting sound because it can be so hard and strong and also very sensual and very beautiful,&amp;quot; says Jolie, 35, who picked up the language for her new spy thriller, Salt (out July 23).\r\nPHOTOS: The Jolie-Pitt kids hit the beach!Added Jolie (who spoke at a weekend event to promote the flick), &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s a very&amp;#xA0; interesting sounding language. It took me a long time. I just had to practice&amp;#xA0; over and over and over and I was told that I was getting it wrong a bunch of&amp;#xA0; times and I had to keep practicing.&amp;quot;Jolie worked with a Russian vocal coach. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;d do it with me, spend time with me and&amp;#xA0; then they&amp;apos;d put it on tape. So I would take it home and I would just keep trying to get it exactly right and then trying not to get so stuck on a line.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Flashback! Angelina&amp;apos;s old modeling shotsThe actress says speaking the language on-screen added sexual tension with co-star Liev Schreiber, who can read Russian.&amp;quot;It was interesting to see how seductive that language could become when we&amp;#xA0; were doing it... that some sounds can really hinder that or some accents have a very specific feeling to them,&amp;quot; she says.Jolie admitted in the new issue of Vanity Fair -- an article she said over the weekend&amp;#xA0; she has not read -- that she&amp;apos;d like to retire from acting in the near future.\r\nPHOTOS: How Shiloh&amp;apos;s style has changed&amp;quot;I just imagine in the years to come... it&amp;apos;s not that I&amp;apos;m retiring, but there will be less films at some point and I&amp;apos;d love to do other things. I&amp;apos;d love to live in Africa for six months and fly planes,&amp;quot; she said.Jolie looks forward to growing older, she says. &amp;quot;I do think that age is beautiful.&amp;quot;For now, she stays young chasing her kids with Brad Pitt, 45, around their house.Twins Knox and Viv -- who turn 2 years old Monday -- &amp;quot;are going in different directions at the same time,&amp;quot; she jokes. &amp;quot;We have put a lot more gates around. We&amp;apos;ve gated off a lot of the rooms in the house where they were going.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Brad and Angie&amp;apos;s PDAThe other kids -- Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, and Shiloh, 4 -- &amp;quot;are all over the place.&amp;quot;&amp;quot;Zee is the fastest in the house,&amp;quot; adds Jolie."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
