I got the impression that they were referring to emigrants that naturalized and later repatriated, not necessarily their descendants. Also, just from my anecdotal experience, it seems that second-generation immigrants tend to learn both the native and host languages, and third-generation and beyond don’t know their native languages, or just bits and pieces. Source is my in-laws, as my wife is a second-generation immigrant (technically first but she was a baby when she came over.)








Had a really good steak and ale pie in a pub somewhere. Also, fish and chips is wildly overrated.
