For some time now, I do fear that my mum is loosing the ability to speak English. I’m going to raise it up with her care home as English is not her first language. A lot of the time, she is refusing to speak it anyway & the other part of the time is that I think she can’t remember how to speak it.
She has actually lived in England more than she has in Poland.
She speaks her home language Polish to me about 80% of the time when I visit it with my fiancé. She speaks Polish to him & of course he doesn’t understand.
She also speaks Polish to the other residents & claims that they understand her but none of them do. I feel that this is another sign of decline & I wonder what the care home will do if she loses the ability to speak English?
