Swiss friends. Talk about having flexibility in language to get subtlty of expression ... I was eavesdropping whaile they were conversing together and, in the course of a sentence(!), they slip between German, French, and Italian. But, if they start a sentence in German, they'll have to finish it in German to get the verb at the end :-)
That's neat about your mother and aunt being Hungarian - some of the most interesting musicians I've met were Hungarian.
We are interesting, adaptable creatures when it comes to communicating with each other.
