Spanish English Class

Having Spanish as my secondary language was always something I was proud of. But growing up I slowly noticed my language wasn’t as fluent as I always thought it came to be. I realized there was more slang onto my Spanish then fluency. When I began high school, I was given the opportunity of taking a Spanish class, and so I did! I was constantly told “Aren’t you Mexican?” “Don’t you already know Spanish?” While an American would approach me with this, I would comeback “Why do you take an English class? Don’t you know your own language?” I took this course to get a better understanding of grammar, reading, and writing, that goes into understanding my secondary language. Just like Americans take an English course to better in their language.
