After a "como?" on my part, we continued the conversation in English, and hers was nearly as good as mine.

Just to understand the point are you making... Are you saying, that in another generation or so, we will be back to English as a primary language, based on your observations?
No slight or flaming intended, my relatives spoke German and Irish when they came here, and I'm certain they did so for some time afterwards.
