Do you guys have any relatives who don't speak English (this question probably should apply for those living in an English-speaking country)? On my mom's side of the family, most of them can't speak English too well or at all and only Mandarin. My 70-year-old grandmother who lives here can only say a few English words like "I don't know" or "thank you" and can't drive or ride a bike.

Very few 70-year-old grannies can ride bikes.

The following sentence is true. The previous sentence is false. O_o PARADOX!

My two grandparents on my mother's side can't speak English. All they know is some random words they saw on products.

Are they Russian?

I'd assume French because he's from Quebec

my haitian relatives can speak english but its really awful. They don't make much sense and it irritates me when they talk to me. For example the phone rings and someone says

"where's mommy?"

"she's not here?"

"what?"

"NOT.HERE."

it gets old and annoying fast!!!

Nah, all my relatives (that I know of) speak English. I have relatives in Australia and various places. I've only met them once.

yea my abella and abello (grandma and grandpa) on my dad's side are from spain and up to about 5 years ago they couldnt speak english because there was to many spanish people around them to really care about learning it.

we have a lot of wogs in australia

the words home made and circumsion should never be used in the same sentence
