I realize this before and after I read this short story, that have been written by Amy Tan, that learning another language benefits you especially if you don't know the native or most spoken language thats being used in a country or a country your trying to move into. It gives you a handicap in the social aspect environment if you don't know the main language thats being use.
In the Amy Tan story "Mother Tongue" explains of her mother verbal skills and the struggle of living in another country with a different language thats being spoken and learning of how to adopt and adapt the language that's being spoken. Well, I could compare this with my parents when they first tried to speak english and, how my mom struggles the most because my dad was always working; so he had to interact and learn how to speak english. Which was hard and confusing to my parents. It also describes how embarrass she felt because in the short story says of her and her mother having a conversation and said "I again found myself conscious of English I was using, the English I do use with her." Which means she had to limit herself of using other english words mainly because of her mother terminology and usage of words and sometimes she wasn't able to express herself correctly with the use of the English language.
