I used to think that people from different states(I live in the USA) spoke different languages. When my parents told me we were leaving going to Colorado for a vacation one year, I became terrified that I would have to learn Spanish! Thankfully, however, I understood everyone there. In fact, my younger self might be surprised to learn from my older self that, living in Arizona, most people seem to a speak a different language from me IN state!
