I was originally born in Laos and had been going to lao's school until I was in eigth grade. My school was not too bad, I got a good grade on every tests or quizes. I could speak Lao every well, but my private language was Hmog becuase both my parents were Hmong. At school, I had lots of friends and met new friend everyday around the school. We go along with each other every well. We were best friends.
I will never see them again because my family had been move to America. We were far away from each other a crose the Pacific Ocean. I had left all my best friends and and my relatives in Laos and came here with my family.
When I had arrived in American, I felt that I could not fit into this new society because I can not speak English well as other people. In Laos, I had learned a little bit about english. But when I hear an American people speaking in English, I can not understand what they were saying because their sound so different from us. Eventhough, I did not know what they were saying, but I tried very best to understand the meaning of it and tried to speak correctly.
I had been in the United States for one month and went to school. I saw different kind of people around the school. So I understand that it was not only me who left all friends and relatives behide. I started to learn English as I could because I will be stay in the United States all my whole life. No matter how hard it is, I will never give up.

Wow... I wish I could learn Lao. You see my parents speak some Lao too, according to them. Both my parents are Hmong like your too, but I was actually born here in the United State, so I speak English and my native tongue too. Trust me, the more you speak and read in English will get you improve your English. Keep up the hard work!!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I love bilinguals all over the world because we are the ones who struggle harder than those who only speak ONE LANGUAGE.
