When I finished reading the "how to tame a wild tongue" articel I was like, WOW! this article is so true, it is to relevant with almost 90% of the hispanics living in South Florida. Although I wasn't born in Cuba, my first language was Spanish. My whole family was actually pretty surprised that i was more american but spoke better spanish than english, but w.e the point is, that i was just like her i could'nt necessarily speak only one language without slipping a little of the other in. I was very "Spanglish". However i never had anyone constantly from my family telling that i couldnt speak it that way, except for school. At about second grade I was put in ESOL classes to "learn" how to speak fluent english, the problem they didnt understand that i DID know how to speak english i just chose to speak a little bit of both. So yeah, i can say that many people in South Florida can definetely relate to this article.
