106. Yep. My mom and all her brothers and sisters had to learn English
as young adults. Most of them still have accents. Three of them also have advanced degrees that they got after that. But they're all still more comfortable in Spanish.

My mom's spoken English is better than most English speakers but for the accent. Her written English still needs editing for grammar, though.
