Reflection #3: Spanglish and Mute on an English only World

Both of these stories have to do with aliens on the United States. Every year hundreds of persons arrive on the US coasts searching for a better life. The main problem they have is the language barrier. That’s what the "Mute on an English Only World" talks about. That was a Korean family that moved to the US and the mother of the family didn't learn any English. This happens a lot in states like California, New York, Ney Jersey, Texas, Illinois, Florida, etc. That's a problem that people really don't need to worry about because there is a lot of schools that teach you English. In the other side, we read "Spanglish", this story talks about a student that had mixed up English and Spanish. He isn't the only one, in New York that is another way of speech, as in Puerto Rico, where almost every person talks in spanglish. I think that this is a new culture and that is us. However we need to empathize the learning of the original languages, such as Spanish and English. Because of the spanglish we are forgetting about our own language which is very important to our development. In this world we need to know the formal language 'cause this would help you get better jobs, and in consequence a better income. Also in some times it will help you get a better communication with other people. For that reason I don’t think there is no bad to talk spanglish if you don’t forget your own language. That’s why I exhort every one to continue talking spanglish, but don’t stop learning and practicion the formal language.
