The description of my language <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I grew up in a hispanic household that ment all i would hear at home is spanish. My parents new that if i learned spanish at home i could also learn english in school with no problem. When i was younger i had a more colombian accent because i had picked it up from the way my parents talked. During high school i picked up a more dominican accent because i would always be around dominicans. I use a lot of there slang too like how i am always saying \u201c cono \u201d and that is a really big dominican thing. I work in a supermarket and if i talk spanish to a customer sometimes they do ask me if i am dominican. <\/span><\/p>\n

When i talk i feel like people would say it is more of a stigmatized form i dont really use big words. I am always talking with friends and family and it’s more regular with them i don’t have to watch what i say and i don’t have to think before i speak. I feel like the way i talk really differs depending on who i am talking with if i know the person i am more laid back. For example when i am at work i am really serious with the customers because i don’t know them. <\/span><\/p>\n

My language is perceived in different ways just because if i am talking to my sister and she gets me annoyed i will give her attitude. Or if i am talking to my dad and he says something dumb or funny i will laugh or look at him funny. In both occasions i could say the same thing for example like \u201c stop talking to me.\u201d For my sister it would be in a mean way and for my dad it would be more like me laughing. I guess this is because it just depends who i am talking to and what we are talking about.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have never really been put in a position where someone had a bad attitude towards my language just because \u00a0i don’t really go around talking to random people i guess. When i am outside i manly only talk english and you really can’t tell if i talk spanish unless i say it i have actually been asked a few times if i am Filipino because of my eyes. I guess when i am at work spanish people tend to come to my line because they know it will be easier to communicate with me instead of my co worker that doesn’t speak any type of spanish. Another thing can be spanish speaking customers tend to feel more comfortable asking me a question about something even though they speak english and they can ask any other cashier. <\/span><\/p>\n
