Took my sister around the same time... and she came here when she was in her 20s

My cousins, uncles, aunts, and other relatives all eventually learn within a 6 month period...

To me it's more ignorant on their part to expect me to know their native langauge in my country :dunno: *yes the U.S. does not have a national language yada yada yada... I heard *
