  10. Moving on to language.
  11. Most mexican american Children speak spanish as their first language.
  12. However, when starting school,
  13. they are taught english and has called them to alter
  14. the language in order to communicate with certain groups,
  15. producing different dialects or english systems.

  17. standard spanish, standard mexican spanish or mexican spanish dialect,

  25. and has made me feel discouraged and want to stop learning.
  26. Not only was I being teased by my family for making a mistake,
  27. but it was also frowned upon
  28. and the mexican culture to speak Spanglish
  29. because you don't belong to either group.
  30. It is important for me to talk about this because most people feel alone on this and
  31. having a family or a close friend,
  32. not be supportive can be discouraging and because in
  33. to drift away from their culture
  34. or
