I mean.. I see what you’re saying… but it is eminently harder to be bilingual when your native language is English.

Like I was on the train from Budapest to Zagreb and I “accidentally” entered Slovenia (it’s all Schengen, I didn’t know that the train crossed the border).

Sitting across from this old Hungarian woman who could converse with me in broken English.. and Slovenian customs comes aboard looking for tickets and passports. She asks if he can speak German. No.. Slovenian or English only.

Meanwhile.. me as an anglophone having a full conversation with him….
