Comment on Do we intentionally translate ancient stuff and languages to sound old timey as an artistic choice, or is there some other reason?

My grandmother took me to her birthplace in Denmark and kept saying she couldn’t speak Danish with the locals, despite having spoken Danish with her family in America semi-regularly. I never thought it was because her vocabulary and accent was stuck in 1940s and she didn’t feel confident speaking that way.
