Beyond the problems with maintaining native speech, I worry that at some point I would be required to take the same test as aliens to maintain my citizen status. Old joke, of all the things I’ve ever lost, I miss my mind the most.
I’ve met people who were ferociously proud of only knowing English… not that they made much effort to learn to spell anything with it, but y’know… they take their pride where they insist there might possibly be some.
I like the new kid! What do you call someone who speak 3 languages? Trilingual. 2 languages? Bilingual. One language? American. (I’ll show myself out…)

Is Hector gonna be a mainstay? I need to know this before he most likely disappears off the face of the Earth after a while.

“Precocious” is a mild word for this new kid.
Maybe he can be Delray’s tutor

Maybe you should share notes, if either of you bothered to write any.

True! My first and only language is English but you would never know it.
