Ven Loraine Prince Ichi About 4th generation on my mom's side, 3rd on my dad's. for the longest time my family had a little German bakery about an hour from where my mom lives, and my great aunt was the last person to speak fluently. I would really enjoy learning at least some conversational, instead of my retarded fragments and being able to identify only some words. xd I took 3 years of German in high school, but I only really remember syntax and some tenses. We also have family ruins in Scotland, which I'd looove to visit sometime in my life. ; ; Oh wow, I can't imagine how someone would lose their "native" language ;A; If my great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents had been Dutch, I would have insisted to learn Dutch! XD ah my grandparents never learned, and my great aunt died before I was born, so there was a whole generation gap that prevented me and my mom from learning. ; ;

XD my bf was raised in a hispanic family and for the first 5 years of his life spoke nothing but spanish. now he speaks english perfectly with no accent and can barely remember any spanish. just an example of losing language
