1) Language is a way to communicate. We begin to learn language as infants and become accustomed to our native language. language therefore becomes a problem for immigrants, especially between the first and second generations. This language barrier also results in the second generation losing their identity. 2) First generation immigrants in America suffer in lots of areas because of language difficulties. Naturally, they want their children to speak English both at home and at school in order to be more successful. This results in their children losing their ethnic identity and even more. Ignoring their parents because there is now a language between them. 3) For example, my three children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen years- old daughter speaks both English and Korean very well. She has no problems talking with her parents, but she does have trouble understanding Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old and she resists speaking Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is much Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. I felt sympathy for my aunt whenever my fourteen-year-old cousin said, “Mom, what is your problem? 4) The third child is a twelve-year-old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to encourage him to learn both languages, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and fail to understand why he should learn Korean. 5) Immigrants try to preserve their native language in their new country while string to learn a new language. My aunt was her children to succeed in the US, but she also wants to help them understand the Korean language in order to understand the Korean heritage. The second generation often gets confused about their Identity. My aunt’s children, for example, see themselves as being different from others in both places in the US they look Korean and in Korea they act like Americans. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different because they wore different clothes and walked differently. 6) Language is important and valuable for any reasons. Immigrants must imagine a strong mutual understanding with the family and enable their children to appreciate the heritage. Being at ease in using both the first and second languages is important not only for attaining familial harmony, but also in helping the second generation establish the identity.
