Have you met a Hispanic who isn’t fluent in Spanish

Have you ever met a Hispanic who can understand a language but they can’t speak the language fluently. But they around language all their life
Yes, my grandparents spoke Spanish but their children knew very little Spanish. I didn't grow up learning Spanish. I've had to learn on my own. I'm not fluent yet. Not sure if I ever will be.
@Mariocrespo8546 I'd need intensive practice. I know some, but I wouldn't be able to have a speaking conversation. I do okay with written Spanish.

@Mariocrespo8546 That would make sense.

@Mariocrespo8546 They understood their parents. Don't know about the TV thing.
Mariocrespo8546 · 31-35, M
@eli1601 so do you think they still learn language with practice
SW-User
Mariocrespo8546 · 31-35, M

@SW-User it would take lots of practice

@rokrchik1211 I do everyday also listen to music in Spanish all time

@Mariocrespo8546 cool. That doesn't mean all hispanics can speak Spanish. It all depends on where they were born and what language was spoken in the child's household and what they were exposed to in childhood.

@rokrchik1211 well I know someone that their spoke Spanish all time in house but they still can’t speak it
