those who live by, grew up by, or have family who did by a border, did you end up speaking the language of the other country? - eviltoast

for those who find this hard to read, it’s like my dad. he grew up in peru but by the border between peru and brazil, so he picked up portuguese.

    I lived in an area that had more or less migrant workers depending on season. I did pick up some of the language as a kid, because I had friends who were part of that population, but honestly I can’t speak it now. Sometimes I can pick out the general meaning if I read it, but not often enough to be confident in my understanding.
