Eerily similar experience here. I came to the US from Russia at the age of 9 and slowly watched my Russian slip away. 23 years later my vocabulary sucks and I have a strange accent. I have made an effort though by reading a few books in Russian, including Crime and Punishment. The author saying “I have so much to say, but not the words to say it” is the heartbreaking reality of my conversations with my parents. Luckily, my ability to understand is still sharp, so I get them talking and hear stories about their lives. |
