First language that became the second language
I am hispanic. My parents have taught me to speak, read, and write Spanish. It was my first language. I had trouble learning English when I was younger. I did not pronounce English words good. I was not a good speller. I was not good in the English subject. Till, this day I am still not perfect at it. However, as imperfect I am in the English language. In high school, I started noticing how I am losing some of my Spanish speaking skills. I forgot how to write. I forgot how to say certain words. I was paying attention to English, where I was forgetting Spanish.
I told it upon myself to do some research where people can learn Spanish.
