If you hang out with people here that only speak English for a year you will lose it.

I had a person I knew that came here from Italy after WW 2 he is always around Italians like him. He never learned English in all his time here.

He was the masseur and record keeper for the Brooklyn Italians soccer club.

He is telling me a story of his war experiences. He was a machine gunner in Ww2.

He was in tobrook. He told me in one battle he killed over 200 of the enemy.

Then I realized he was in the Italian army and fought for Mussolini. That day he killed over 200 English soldiers. I don't know why I thought he was in the American army.
