Language

 Language is diverse for everybody as some know or learn more languages then others. In my case I speak both Spanish and English.

 At my early childhood I was enrolled in school in the united states in which I mostly spoke English either at home or school, I don’t know how my mother understood me, but she did. I finish first grade then I was send to Colombia to study for 5 years, where as a newcomer lacked communicating in Spanish, but as months passed I learned of it and my life took a complete turn, I knew a whole lot of Spanish and my English completely disappeared. I only had the little they teach us in our native country dogs, chicken, number one trough 10 e.t.c. Then 5 years I was back in USA, feeling like new comer all over again. As I sat in a classroom where I didn’t understand the slightest or simplest gesture I felt lost like day dreaming, I was there but at the same it was like I wasn’t  I tried to connect words next thing you know class was over. And all I had was how the teacher introduced himself plus the subject of the day of which I had no information what so ever. A month passed and it was like I had never forgotten my English, I understood everything I even started participating.

Now days, I currently speak English most of the time either at home, friends or work. The only time speak Spanish is when I go to my mother house, because she completely forgot everything she learned when we where little. Even though at times she understand a bit, well especially when I use to argue with my brother and fight most of the time while we were under the same roof. Now when I visit them we get along well, we remember when we were smaller and just laugh. My mother remembers the belts and tries to remember the things we use to say in English to play around with us. However she just don’t know how to respond or communicate with other in any to her language that is not Spanish. Don’t get me wrong she does know how to defend herself when people are disrespectful. At work I speak when costumers whom don’t understand or speak English come in.  As school years pass my vocabulary expands and I learn new words that could help me as I work towards my future and hopefully when my son gets older teach him how to be fluent in both languages, well at least in speaking, reading am not quite good at it, because I don’t read Spanish newspapers or books.

Language I think it happens by try to switch words or put different meaning to words, so that we could expand our vocabulary or be able to explain things in different ways and as we do more and more people listen and adapt to certain ways of putting phrases together. I don’t have a I hypothesis of where it was acquired. Everyone has different views or believes.  My believe is that God created us and gave us all the implements we needed to survive beyond that, is every ones call on where they believe language came from. The way we all learn new languages is the same way we learned the first seen it, practicing and trying to repeat it and learn new thing to expand our vocabulary. What I wonder from language is how every each country was there own language, so that others can’t understand.
