20. Grew up with Finnish speakers...

My paternal grandmother and her sisters. They would speak it among themselves when we were around. You knew when they were talking about you because they would say your entire name in English then they would all look at you... as if you didn't know that part.

I asked them to teach me the language but they refused telling me that I was an American and it wasn't my language. They were all born here but to immigrants.

Still don't know a word of it, it would be an interesting language to learn, but difficult.
