Speaking French
When I was in high school. I studied French for three years. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Aunt Claudine spoke fluent conversational French, and so, whenever we visited them, I would get to try out my skills at speaking French, and I would try to understand her when she spoke to me "en Francais."
When she was a small child, her parents spoke only French in the household, as they were both immigrants from France. Her parents were learning English, but like many immigrants, they preferred to speak their native language at home. When Claudine reached school age, she could only speak French, and her parents were told she could not attend Kindergarten or public shcool until she learned English.
Her parents told Claudine to learn English from her friends, so Claudine had to learn English from her friends that she played with, and was then admitted to school by the first grade.
