re: #137 SanFranciscoZionist

Sometimes the first generation, the immigrants, just never get all that fluent. Their kids learn in school. It’s just not a big deal.

I’ve seen this a lot with immigrant families. You might have one generation who speak very broken English, a second who speak fluently while not quite acquiring the proficiency of ‘native’ speakers, and a third who’re indistinguisable from the natives, right down to regional accents.
