2. 1st generation who grew up speaking it at home

3. A talented language learner

Diversity (I hate that word since Obama) some teams everyone has the same language and some teams can have as many as 5-8 languages depending on whose on their team.....some of the above native guys speak 3-4 languages myself I am trained in 3-DoD 1- Public school and friends but English is the only one I am proficient in.
