THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL BIA COMMUNITY FAMILY SURVEY ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BEING THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE...

EBONICS IS MY FIRST LANGUAGE....

And yes Mom I have one of those Raid Ant and Roach spray cans in my house (LOL)

So your granddaughter's finished her finals? Que es maravilloso (That's wonderful LOL!)

I'm chuckling at this, I took French my first year in high school. Then the teacher quit and everyone that was enrolled in her class got transferred to the Spanish class. My teacher gave me a paper to translate for a homework assignment and I ended up translating half in French and half in Spanish (without realizing what I had done). So the next day I handed in my paper and the teacher looked at me funny and said, "Did you sleep too hard?" (LOL)

Now due to me having both Black and Mexican neighbors moving in my neighborhood and their children enrolling in the school system here in N.O. I wish I would have taken more time to learn Spanish to better communicate with them, I only remember about 55% of it...

Something that also tend to tickle me when I hear those SPEAK ENGLISH SPEACHES...the people who come hear speaking English speaks england's English and those book that teaches spanish is nto going to work very well with coming to Ca, speaking Spanish. so sorry about that as that teaches you the Spanish of Spain...butm experience is the best teacher. (smile)

Siebra, do you mean with both English and Spanish on it...AND YOU LIVE IN THE DEEP SOUTH?????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????? (roflmao)

Please and one on this site living or know anyone in Arizona? (smile)

EBONIC IS MY FIRST LANGUAGE...MY GRANDDAUGHTER JUST FINISHED HE FINALS IN HER SPANISH LANGUAGE IN THIS HER FIRST YEAR IN COLLEGE...I GATHER THAT SINCE SHE IS IN pA. THIS IS A SIGN OF THE CHANGE OF THE TIMES...ITALIAN USE TO BE THE LANGUAGE ON THE EAST COAST. and this was dispite the majority latinos were from Puerto Rico on the notrh east coast of the U.S....

(SMILE)

Yes and got an A in Spanish and a B in Math.and works part time in a law office. (smile)

...and her major is Childhood Development. Her sister has until the 18th of next month to end and she will be a senior in high school.(smile)

Thats the problem with it being true that you use it or loose it...and it will be even much better to learn it from your neighbors any way...

because I had had Italian and not Spanish in high school, Spanish was a requirement in college out here...and, because my professor was from Mexicl we learned not to go by the actual text books offered, because tey dont evenuse thes workds in Spanish out side of Spain it self...which goes to show how things gets all F___ed up in this country (bigotry maybe ?!?) as these text books are written by 2 female Spainish professors at UCD for most of the colleges in tis state. (smile)
