Week 14

This week we have been learning about the different types of English we speak depending on who we are talking to. We read a small reading about this writer that was Asian and had a mom who talked "broken" English. I got to relate with this reading because my mom doesn't has a "broken" English, and alike like the writer I have to talk on the phone for her sometimes because she knows they will understand me better than her. We are also learning about how many languages are getting extinct because people don't have people to talk to, so either they lost it or they grew old and never got to teach their language. We read two readings one was about French and the other one was about saving languages. The French one talked about how French people don't like the fact that people want to learn they language. They think that, that makes their culture look worn out. But I think that it's better for their country it makes their language look good. The saving languages reading was about a school in New York where they tell people whose language are not known and asks them to teach others their language so it won't get lost.
