the craziest part to me is that in 50+ years he didn't pick up any Russian at all. I didn't speak a word of Spanish but after living in New Mexico for two years I could at least understand and speak some Spanish.

I'm not really sure if he'd pick up much in a mental institution

... in New Mexico? To be fair I've never been and I assume it was named such for a reason, but I just want to make sure I'm not being trolled and ask, don't they speak English there?

thaey do speak English in New Mexico however, it's in the southwestern United States boarding Mexico. but Statewide, 47.8 percent of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino (of any race). That’s an increase of 1.9 percentage points from 45.9 percent in 2007-2011. New Mexico had the highest percentage of Hispanics of any state. California and Texas tied for second at 38.6 percent. where I lived the primary language was definitely Spanish.>!!<
