(25,499 posts)78. This seems to be an ability of many 'trans-national' families, who have relatives literally all over Europe, South
America, and other places. I always loved the multiple mixing of cultures, and the different languages...my deceased Ex spoke six languages (father was German, grandparents were Italian, German, Peruvian, English, and a little South American indian dialect.
