If you were immersed in a foreign-language culture for all your waking hours with no other possible language to communicate with, and in a culture that you saw yourself as a part of, you too would learn the language fluently, and in far less than the approximately 6 years that children take to attain fluency.

Of course, the woman in question was already 50 at the time, & spent much of the time in a homeless shelter -- not exactly immersed in the culture. Weird that it took so long for the situation to get sorted.
