  • Second Language Acquisition: A Hmong-American Perspective

    2232 Words  | 5 Pages

    I began showing interest in the English language because I wanted to make new friends at school. Metaphorically speaking, I believe that language is the key to unlock communication. Because of this intrinsic motivation, I started allowing the English language to soak in my brain. My acceptance in English began to show through the number of friends that I made at school. At the time of learning English, one of my biggest barriers was trying to comprehend whole sentences. I had an extremely difficult time understanding the connection between words when placed in a sentence. Communication was definitely a struggle that I faced in elementary school. I picked up meaning simply by listening to words that I was familiar with. I was very limited in English. The words I remembered using the most were, “yes,” “no,” “paper,” “pencil”, “broke,” “sharp,” “restroom”, “okay,” “don’t know,” and “go play.” I did not attempt to deliver full sentences unless I was assigned to read a passage from a

  • From Spanish to English: Becoming Literate in America

    For as long as I can remember learning how to read and write was a real challenge for me. When I first arrived in the United States I was enrolled at the nearby elementary school. Being from another country I was scared and embarrassed because I was different then the other children in my class. Talking and communicating with others was something that wasn't in the interest of what I wanted to do. I sat far away from others depriving myself of what they were doing or learning. Coming from Mexico and going to a school where no other children would speak the same language that I would or even play the way I did made me believe that I was some sort of thing that didn't belong. All these contributed to a low esteemed child that was unable to communicate. The world I was in suddenly became a place that I didn't know. To the kids and others in my class I was an illiterate person.
