I grew up speaking spanish at home till I was in fifth grade. Thats all my parents spoke at the time, but my dad did know all the english curse words lol. My parents would talk to me in spanish and I would respond in english thats how they learned. Since then it was english all the time till recently I started speaking both mostly all the time. Im kinda fluent in spanish but sometimes I get hung up on some words because I went so long with out speaking it. But I still remembered my abc's in both and can read in spanish but the writing is kinda hard because of all the accents on some words.

My parents are from Oklahoma, so pretty much just English for me (unless you think those crazy Okies have their own language 
). I can understand basic Spanish, but I can't really speak it very well. My gf's dad is Egyptian, so she will speak Arabic with her grandmother and sometimes with her Egyptian friends. I've learned to understand some of the basic stuff, but I can't really speak it worth a damn.

. They never talked to us in Spanish growing up. My grandparents said the basic stuff that everyone knows. I know curse words though 
Hispanic people come up to me all the time talking Spanish and I'm like que?!? No habla espanol then they give me a "go to hell" look
