You can easily go many many days played and never branch a single accent/language.
Sounds like you folks are too tolerant of those brutish southerners or filthy neckers.  Hang with your own.

I disagree.

I met a friend (and her mother) about six months ago. They often come over just for the hell of it, and sometimes talk to each other in Portuguese.
While I'm not particularly fluent enough to speak it, I have about a 40% success rate in actually understanding them.

Yeah, listening to people BS with one another is also the way I learned a large amount of the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese that I speak as well, but I thought anticdotal story style testimonies didn't really add much to the thread.
