LOL My step Grandmother was Spanish speaking (RIP, great lady!). We used a lot of gestures, pointing and laughter! But we ended up understanding each other in some weird way.
Game of charade? anyone?
I agree with Botts. This was a family member that I did not see often. When there is a will their is a way.
We can not expect everyone to know the language that we know. If that was true. We would all be using a Universal Language.
