Mother Tongue

Before reading this I honestly could not understand why people could not learn and speak our language, if they are coming to live and work here. It really bothered me, especially when I would be out shopping and the person behind the desk can't understand me or vise versa. I knew before reading this that it was wrong to think that, but it was hard for me when I would have to face it and I would get really frustrated. After reading this I have come to the conclusion that it is a part of their culture and they want to keep it in their life, and I totally understand that. Anyone can see that it makes sense for them to want to keep their culture in their lives today and as a society it should be accepted.
