My great-grandparents immigrated from Ireland to Montreal. Hence, my grandmother grew up speaking French Canadian as her native language. My mother grew up with a native-French-speaking parent and went to a Catholic school where French was taught. So, when my mother and my grandmother wanted to talk about things without us nosy, buttinsky,kids hearing, they spoke to each other in French. You and DH just need to speak to each other in French. My great grandparents are from Hungry. Both of my grandparents could speak Hungarian. Neither my mom, siblings, or the rest of the family could speak it. If they wanted to discuss amongst themselves, it was in Hungarian. Once, DH asked my grandmother what the word for razor was. What she said sound liked 4 words and it basically meant train against the face. According to her, there's really no work for razor in Hungarian.
