I‘ll join the ranks of Germans loosing their mother tongue, I wonder why we are I susceptible to it. Even though living in Germany I am in an English speaking academic bubble, spending 10h a day reading, writing and discussing in English.
Interestingly I’ll be the 3rd generation in my Familie to loos his mother tongue.
My grandfather spoke east Prussian which was lost to low German. My mother spoke low German which was lost to high German. I grew up in high German and probably at some point will be mostly English speaking .
