Czech vanished from my family within a generation; my great grandmother spoke little English, my grandma spoke to her in Czech but only ever spoke English to my mom :(

Seems to be the way it goes, often.

My friend’s parents spoke Slovak in front of the kids, but mostly in the same way that most families spell in front of kids, or geeky families like mine use Morse code in front of the kids (who then learned Morse code).  My friend speaks a tiny bit of Slovak but I’m sure she wishes she spoke more.

(Okay my brain is way too much on food after missing a few days worth of tube feedings.  I can’t get the idea of sauerkraut pierogi out of my head.  My friend used to make it for me all the time.  And she’d have me bake Slovak breads because she said I could bake better than she could.  Now I’m going to have to go warm up some potato leek soup broth, which should drain out of my feeding tube just fine.  It’s the closest thing to umami I can get right now.  But sauerkraut soup, which my friend also made, sounds amazing.  But also tube-clogging.)
