New research looks at Latinos views on Spanish
Pew reports that more than half of non-Spanish speaking Latinos have been shamed by others because of their lack of fluency.New research examines Latinos' experiences with the Spanish language, finding that while three-quarters of Latinos speak Spanish fluently, over half of those who don't speak the language have been shamed because of it.The study looks at attitudes to the Spanish language from recent immigrants to third generation and higher Latinos.
“I decided to sell my car, to go and live with some relatives in Mexico… I spent a year and [when] I came back, and I was able to speak to my mom, really, in her native language for the rest of her life.” Denise in Pasadena shared a similar story: “My father grew up in Corona and was punished in school for speaking Spanish. My father didn't want us to experience that, so my level of Spanish is probably equivalent to a third grader, and my children aren't fluent.”
Alexis continued, “so now we're working on paying for classes for her to not feel that way at school.”
