Summary Of Tanya Maria Barrientos Se Habla Español

Tanya Maria Barrientos writes “Se Habla Español” to explain her experience of being a Latina that can’t speak spanish. She goes against the expectations that anyone who is hispanic speaks spanish.Barrientos starts of by writing about taking classes to learn spanish because she want to be able to understand the language that her parents speak to each other.Then Barrientos writes about her childhood in which she compare herself with her friends that aren’t hispanic.
I can relate because people expect me,a latina to be able to translate spanish words into english or english words into spanish.But translating isn’t always easy because I either have never used the words in spanish or it can’t be translated correctly.
I like when Barrientos writes
