My family speaks English more than anything but we made it a point to speak Spanish enough so that I could learn it. Even though my Spanish is not 100% perfect, I can speak it, read and write it well enough and I can pass it on to my children in the future. I really believe that you should be proud of your culture and therefore learn at least some of your homeland's language. My great grandfather was Corsican but emmigrated to Puerto Rico and spoke only Spanish from then on...big mistake. Though I'm glad he embraced Puerto Rican culture he really should of passed on the Corsican language to my grandmother who would of taught it to my mother and myself. Now Im struggling trying to find tools to learn a language I could of just learned by ear from my family the way I did with Spanish. Come on Corsica....be proud to speak your language....it's beautiful!!!!!! I am Corsican and Hispanic.
