Multilingual

                Language is an international form of communication. My ideas of language are somewhat similar to those of Author Gloria Anzuldua. In the article How to Tame a Wild Tongue she speaks about having multiple languages linked to Spanish. I believe there is different ways to speak Spanish. For instance when speaking to your parent we tend to speak proper Spanish verses when speaking to friends it’s more of a slang Spanish. Even English has different ways of speaking it. This article cannot get more real. On a daily basis we see these things happening like those of Anzaldua. Some people are ashamed of speaking Spanish because they live in America. Why be ashamed of your roots. Being bilingual can sometimes identify your background. Anzaldua mention that “ethnic identity is twin skin to linguistic identity-I am my language.” In my personal view Anzaldua is saying it should be an honor being bilingual.
