Radical
Sometimes I feel ‘Radical’
Especially given where I’m from
I wonder what being home is going to be like
Will people stay away from me because of my radical beliefs
Or will they embrace me and my thoughts
?
Arg.
That moment when people ask me what language I am more comfortable writing in or speaking in and they are surprised it is not Spanish. It’s not a huge problem but I’m surprised that they are surprised. I grew up writing in English and thinking in English. I have been educated in an English language only school setting. I’ve never been formally taught to write in Spanish…not until high school …and even then I didn’t learn anything.
I’ve taught myself most of my writing skills.I still need to learn a bunch of grammar rules in spanish.
Ah I feel only people who are raised bilingual may understand.
At one point I was better at French than spanish. Yeah in spanish I can get a sense of what sounds right or wrong, but my writing mainly depends on this sense…
