[quote=Anonymous]Not in your situation, but I'm the child of immigrants whose native language is not English. My grandmother, however, did not speak English and spent a lot of time with us. Also, my parents, unlike many of their friends from the same country, always spoke their native language to each other and to us (well, maybe more like a blend). As an adult, I can't speak as well as I can understand the language, and I am fluent enough to navigate my way around the country my parents came from. And, even though we sometimes had to take a few tries to communicate things, I was very, very close to my grandmother while she was alive. I don't think that the language has to be an issue for that closeness.[/quote]
