@J Ba, A good proportion are bi-lingual but most speak English, unfortunately their native languages are struggling.
What I don’t get is why Americans call their language English and then spell words differently. Why not just call it American? You can spell things how you like then.
My husband and were transferred to Italy, and were housed in an apartment hotel for a while with some British co -workers until we found permanent digs. We decided that both families would do something together on a Saturday morning, and were astonished when the English gentleman offered, I’ll come upstairs at nine and knock you up".
@GoldenRoyaWhere’s the “Like button?”. I really wish they taught Welsh in English schools. It’s part of our own landmass with a different language yet we get taught French :-(
