Language Update: My parents came to the US in 1951. My mom was 29 years old, my dad was 31. My mother learned English almost immediately. It wasnt great but it was serviceable and eventually she even learned to read English. My dads English was impossible to understand. His German and Spanish were better. He had no interest in learning English or becoming a US citizen. When he returned to Poland after 45 years in the US, he traveled on a Polish passport. I think the only English word he knew was bullshit.
