Can you lose a language you never knew?

Drag and drop the words in their correct places in the story. (10 p.)

I grew up in a monolingual family. My parents speak only Finnish, and in my childhood
I had very few real-life experiences with any other language.

However, I spent countless hours online from early on, and the online community
I was part of used English. In order to interact with strangers, I had to start using English as well.

I was uncomfortable at first about how it would play out or if I would fail because I wasn’t a native
speaker. But despite my fears, everything went smoothly.

Over the years, I’ve become friends with a lot of people from all around the world. Finnish may be my first language, but a percentage of my identity is definitely English-speaking.

Nobody should have to sit alone

Choose the best alternative. (10 p.)

Ubuntu is an inclusive term roughly translated as "human kindness." It is an idea from Africa which literally means engaging in "human-ness" or kind behaviour and is often translated as "humanity toward others". It is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing considered to connect all humanity". Since the transition to democracy in South Africa with the Nelson Mandela presidency in 1994, the term has increased its popularity and has become more widely known outside Southern Africa. While marginalization and harassment tend to be unfortunately popular in today's society, Ubuntu raises spirits and increases matters our overall wellbeing.

It was difficult at first, but now I am happy that I moved out of my parents’ house. ~~muuttaa pois~~

Another positive aspect of my apartment is my protective landlord who sometimes comes over / pays me a visit / visits (with) me to bring something freshly baked and to see how I’m doing. It feels wonderful to receive attention like this since my parents live quite far away. ~~suojelunhaluinen vuokraisäntäni, tulee käymään, saada huomiota~~

Text 2. Can you lose a language you never knew?

Kevin is Mexican-American but he has never learned to speak Spanish. In this text he discusses how language affects his cultural identity.

I grew up a monolingual Mexican-American by accident.

My father was often away for weeks at a time, driving 18-wheeler trucks importing and exporting goods throughout the Southwest. My mother worked an office job, and had to juggle her career, finishing her degree and raising two young children. With both parents working full time, this left my brother and me in a bit of a free-fall.

But when I was around four, help arrived. My aunt Nena moved from Mexico to the U.S. — the plan was for her to live with our family and take care of my brother and me while settling into life in Los Angeles.

At the time, it seemed like a wonderful idea. My aunt would help with childcare while teaching us Spanish. What no one anticipated was her own eagerness to learn English, essential for her transition to the U.S. And who better to learn from than two native English speakers?

This resulted, much to everyone's chagrin, in two stubbornly Anglophone children. I can't speak Spanish. It's a simple fact that fills me with shame.

What I didn't know at the time was that my situation reflects a question in the broader Latinx community: Just how important is knowing how to speak Spanish, anyway?

The answer, even among the Latinx community, is complicated. A Pew Research Center study from October of 2017, found that "while the number of Latinos who speak Spanish at home continues to increase due to the overall growth of the Latino population, the share of Latinos who speak the language has declined over the past decade."

In other words: While the population is growing, a smaller percentage of us are speaking the language. In 2006, 78 percent of Latinxs spoke Spanish at home. By 2015, that number had dropped to 73 percent.

I'm part of that decline. Living in a city with nearly 5 million Latinxs provided me with countless opportunities to engage my culture. I have fond childhood memories of outings to Olvera Street, weekly trips to the local panadería, and dance lessons in ballet folklórico.

I'm proud of my culture. But despite all this, I struggle with my Mexican identity.

Growing up, I was told that understanding the language of the home country was of the utmost importance. Sometimes this message was subtle: Spanish-speaking strangers who, after trying and failing to interact with me, would let out a pointed "¿No habla español?"

Other times, it was more explicit — the gentle (and not-so-gentle) teasing from family and friends for mixing up ser and estar; the uncomfortable silence that fell between my cousin and me, neither of us able to communicate during my family's trips to Mexico.

This disconnect between language and culture is all too common for Latinx Americans. According to Pew, 71 percent of self-identified Hispanic adults said that you don't need to speak Spanish to be considered Latinx. At the same time, nearly 90 percent say that it's important for future generations of Latinx Americans to speak Spanish.

Language is central to just about every cultural identity. And language, particularly for Hispanics, transcends national borders. We have a word for this: Latinidad. It's an understanding that Latin American communities are varied and complex, but connected by a shared language.

For me, this understanding played out on a personal level. In school, my friends were Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican and Salvadoran. We didn't necessarily share a common experience. But Spanish was supposed to be a way we could understand one another despite our different backgrounds.

This perceived understanding explains the warmth and affection I receive from Hispanic strangers I meet in public. It also accounts for their visible disappointment when I reveal the extent of my American assimilation. Growing up, it didn't matter to my friends or to strangers that I could make tamales or sing my heart out to Selena's Como La Flor (albeit with a bit of stumbling through the lyrics).

In the view of many of my Hispanic compatriots, I wasn't Mexican-American. I was just American.
