Shakira may get high grades in singing and swivelling her hips, but what about ancient Western history? For the past month, the Colombian pop star has been taking a class at the University of California, Los Angeles, called “Introduction to Western Civilisation: Ancient Civilisations from Prehistory to Circa AD 843.”The Hips Don't Lie singer has been attending classes for the past one month and is studying with professor Robert Cleve, according to Peopleenespanol.com.“She told me she was visiting from Colombia and that she was just doing this for her own enlightenment and enjoyment,” Cleve said.“She looked just like an ordinary student. She wasn’t flamboyant ... she didn’t act like a big celebrity or anything,” the professor added.Shakira, who sat near the front in the third row of the lecture hall, would often discuss the course material with him after class. “I was really impressed with how intelligent she was,” said Cleve.The curvy singer, who made her debut album ‘Magia’ at the age of 14, is a two-time Grammy Award winner and eight-time Latin Grammy winner.For years the 30-year-old has studied on her own, also taking tutorials on the history and languages of the countries she visits.She is the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time and has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.
