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.

    Yea, I grew up in America and ended up being fluent in Canadian as well. I ended up emigrating there even.

    I’ve got a friend from Catalonia and he’s fluent in English, Spanish and Catalan… and can get by in French.

      I grew up along the border with Idaho and still can’t understand them 20 or so years later.
