The “Love Me Harder” singer, who was making her first appearance as a talk show guest (as opposed to a musical performer), nailed an impression of [Céline Dion](http://www.people.com/people/celine%5Fdion "undefined") when [Jimmy Fallon](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:JimmyFallon,00.html "undefined") asked her to join him in an impromptu duet – she even got the French accent and heart-pounding hand gestures down. Earlier in the show Grande, 21, joined Fallon for another installment of his [“Ew!” sketch](http://www.people.com/article/jimmy-fallon-ew-supercut-taylor-swift-channing-tatum-emma-stone-lindsay-lohan "undefined") and the former “Sam & Cat” star showed that she still knows how to get in touch with her inner teen.

Grande, who is learning Japanese, also tried to teach Fallon some simple phrases, and one not-so-simple one. “It means the space between my high sock and my skirt is very sexy,” she explained, prompting Fallon to crack up.
