Not necessarily. It depends on a natural predisposition to learn and
assimilate a language. For instance my grandfather was Ucrainian. He
lived in Argentina for over 50 years and could never speak Spanish
fluently. He spoke in Russian to my grannie and she, who was a very
competent speaker (and cook) would translate for us kids what the old
man wanted to say. Though vodka was easy to understand and no
translation was needed there.:-)

Rafael (and everyone else),
Sometimes I doubt myself on the correct use of some English expressions.
After all, they don’t teach all of them at school.
I'm always impressed by how well the non-native English speakers express
themselves here. (Certainly better than most of us can do in other
languages.) So, don't apologize, and feel free to ask if you have a
question.
