Well, I only know one language, English. I don't have a passport, and have never traveled to any other country. I would love to do all these things, but when you can't afford to travel abroad, then that's a huge problem.
My dad's parents and grandmother came here in the early 1900's from Germany, and I don't know whether they already knew English or not, I wish I had asked my dad when he was alive, but that just never entered my mind until now.
I know that my dad did say they spoke German to each other and slowly, as they started using English fluently, they stopped altogether speaking German. Daddy knew very little German. He taught Ann and me some of words, but I have forgotten those too.
I agree with all of you, and Poppy 100%.
It would be nice to travel, but oh well.
