Interesting you mention that. I am fluent in Spanish and I had an immigrant from South America once aske me in Spanish if black Americans spoke a different language. I was confused at first then I realized the black ppl he lived by used a ton of slang.
Also speaking of immigrants it’s interesting how black immigrants don’t seem to fall victim to “white privilege”.
On top of actually not understanding, it makes people anxious. Even with proper English, I used to be super nervous every time when I was just starting out.
So it can even make people not want to try, not because yuck, black people, but more like it adds an extra layer of possible failure and humiliation. Especially when you consider black people in the US often being louder and more... I guess, open with their feelings?
I'm a super shy person with extremely high anxiety. People making a spectacle out of me making a mistake is nightmare fuel to me, lol. I know, that's a weakness of mine and I'm working on it, but yeah.
Almost like black immigrants have perspective.
Learning Spanish gave me a much bertter idea of what people who come here and learn English go through. To a degree at least. There are certain Spanish dialects that are very hard to understand for me
Right? Learning a foreign language is a very interesting experience.
I would love to give a go to Russian and/or Japanese. I studied German as a kid and I don't remember shit, then I went to a bilingual highschool (we learnt Italian), plus the English. I studied a bit of Swedish at one point too.
