Luckily I had aunts and cousins who taught us the language.

sounds familar although the problem wasn't not being taught it my mother was strict on me learning "foriegn languages" ...but my question to her was "why did you marry outside of somali ??? (half cuban/half somalien" I guess its cause shes a Magdan they are known to be the outsiders of all the somali muslim tribes..
