those who live by, grew up by, or have family who did by a border, did you end up speaking the language of the other country? (feddit.cl)

I lived in an area that had more or less migrant workers depending on season. I did pick up some of the language as a kid, because I had friends who were part of that population, but honestly I can't speak it now. Sometimes I can pick out the general meaning if I read it, but not often enough to be confident in my understanding.
