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.

    ohhh, makes sense. i meant for example, if a polish person who lived by the polish-german border ended up learning german to communicate with germans or not.

      I understood and appreciate your question but my point is that it is very complicated. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of polish people who lived by the polish-german border would learn German (maybe even in school) but I would be surprised if many Germans living on the same border, learned polish.
