Who we are

I’ve been ready the comments about Spanish and English language. This is me…..I know both languages very well I have kids and my kids know both languages very well also. I was born in Mexico but came to the US when I was little. My kids were born here and as baby I have spoken to them in both languages.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that, I’ve seen families that the parents were born in Mexico but the children were born in the US and….in some cases some children don’t speak Spanish at all and when I ask the parent if they child/children speak Spanish…..they say they don’t because they wish not to practice it.

So……parents pass away the children don’t speak Spanish they have children and of course their children will not speak Spanish either so…the Spanish language has been lost.

To me….I think it’s important that our children know both languages…I guess I want to keep the line going of who we really are, where did I come from, what language did my parents speak and my gg grandparents and so on.
