My father was a Dane. He and his sisters didn't learn the language because the other kids might laugh at them. My grandmother was a Danish immigrant. She had a small county store. Dad said one day a Swedish woman came into the store. She was speaking Swedish and my grandmother answering in Danish. Dad said he understood his mother, but not the Swedish woman.
