My apologies-- so am I. My biggest regret is not learning the language from my grandfather.

No need to apologize. I actually learned to speak it from my mother. I spoke it quite fluently as a child but not anymore. I've forgotten a lot of it. My sister and I were born close to the time when Mom came over and married my father. My brothers were born some time later and mom had learned to speak English then and they never learned it. I love the music of that language. When I went to Norway with mom before she died of cancer, I was surprised at how fast I picked it up again. I love Norway and all things Norwegian. sigh.
