[GranTorino]

My grandpa would only speak Hungarian with his friends and neighbors.
He made my Mom speak English because he wanted her to be American.
I wish I was taught as a child by my gramps.
Oh well.

I was lucky. One of my grandmothers lived close to me. And she lived long enough that I learned quite a bit of Hungarian from her. My parents would never speak Hungarian around the house. When I asked about that, they said that they couldn’t remember any of it.

Now, here’s the interesting thing. One day my father and I went to a casino. I went in one direction, and he went in other. Later on, I found my father at a blackjack table. He was sitting next to an old friend of his, who also happened to be of Hungarian descent. They were both jabbering away in perfect Hungarian.

So my father couldn’t remember any Hungarian?...I somehow think he could.
