So for our class we had 3 readings. The one I
really enjoy was this because Zorn was talking about that we should write our
own language and it should be our first primary language. When he said "“Students’ Right to Their Own Language”(Is the second article we read). Si yo estaba hablando en mi idioma principal en las personas de clase no me entenderÃa. Creo que la gente deberÃa ser capaz de hacer eso, pero cuando es necesario. For example that my primary language and some might understand and so might not, but that what I like about is his reading that he wants us to be ourself and find different dialect. Is crazy how we have different dialect but they only wants us to use one. Like here in american if you don't speak english people judge why because we don't speak there language but the sad part is that some people don't even know how to speak and we don't judged them. For example, if a African American went to Mexico there primary language in Mexico is Spanish and his primary language is English but he wanted to go there and live there he have to learn because if don't they could rip him off. This is sad even the picture tells you how bad it is that our primary language is always going to be english because is the easy way to understand without them getting confused. Each year and add up that english is always going to be the primary language and that we are never going to be us because where always get tell what to do. I like when he was talking about "Middle-class Americans may or may not have a higher education and may or may nor use standard English regularly". Is true why because people well have different ways too talk to people for example so people would speak slang and than when there at school they speak there standard English.

Really liked how you incorporated your own primary dialect to prove a point, and even if you would wrote it all in spanish that would of actually been really cool because even though some may or may not understand, it would of shown us the reader that you learned that its perfectly fine to write in our primary discourse. Also I totally agree you when you say that people get judged for speaking other languages other than english. Personally growing up I hated to talk spanish in school because I didn't want to be labelled as a "chunt" or a "paisa" or even "ghetto" so I like refrained from speaking spanish at school and only used it at home, and with time I realized that was stupid as fuck, I was proud to be able to speak two different languages because half of the "americans" only know one language which is english and it makes me like feel proud that I know two languages.
