    My son’s girlfriend grew up in a Puerto Rican family but speaks no Spanish. FWIW, the immigration/language pattern has been consistent over the past 300 years or so: immigrants struggle with the new country’s language (assuming it’s not their first language). Their children grow up bilingual, often acting as interpreters for the family. The third generation has a distant relationship with the “old country” language, often either not knowing it or only learning it in school. This played out exactly in our family — mother-in-law worked hard on her English but never mastered it, wife is beautifully bilingual, and son learned old language in high school foreign language class.

    I think this is true of anyone who has a parent (or parents) who speak another language.

    I know it’s true of my situation… the words I know tend to be of the inappropriate words. ;-)

    My wife and I are both multilingual. Our daughter minored in French in college. Our son has no interest in speaking anything other than English. His thumbs are very dexterous from videogaming, though.

    Are the 3 words he is familiar with Bad Words? Is that why they are blanked out?

    Azul. I don’t speak Spanish, but I recognize a colour when I see one. Azure is blue in English.
