Welcome Language Learners to Part 2 of the Death of Language Compilation!
What does the death of language within families mean to you? And you may think that this is an obvious question, or you’re like what does she mean or what does she want to hear, or maybe you have to think about it for a moment, and really there is no right or wrong answer to this question.
Really the question is to get you to think about yourself, your family, someone you know, the language and culture and the immersion of that or maybe the literal death of language. The languages that are dying because it’s not being passed down from generation to generation, not being taught, spoken, not being recognized.
The death of language came from me deciding what I wanted to do with this podcast and having conversations with my mom and thinking about how diverse we are and how like we don’t speak no other language besides English. And so, I have 2 main questions that come from this topic, it’s WHAT HAPPENED? And WHY?
For this episode, I have 7 guest who will provide their answers with thought, emotion, feelings, and relatability, and in no particular order, here is Karen, Kim, Kamille, Adrienne, Joshua, Martha, and the ladies from the Hermosas Chicas Negras: Ayo, Paula, and D’anne with their answers to "What does the death of language with families mean to you?"
