At 5 years of age my mother was speaking Russian, Arabic, and English equally well (Russian and Arabic with out an accent). Remembering a few dozen faces and names for a little brain is nothing.

"without an accent" is nothing in particular to boast about. Almost all kids who learn a language at that young of an age do so without an accent. It has to do with the "Critical Period" of language acquisition, and the way language is processed in a child's mind versus in an adult's mind.

It never occurred to me to correct them on our current pres.
