When we immigrated to America from Italy, the American school system literally began beating the accent out of me. I was in California Public Schools, and was punished every time I rolled my R's and let my tongue relax in any way to allow an accent. Strangely, my Italian schools enjoyed and encouraged my English speak, but that's another story.
My Grandma could never grasp the English language. I know exactly how you feel- I was so ashamed and impatient of my Grandma's Italian showing through. Of course, looking back on it as an adult I feel horrible. Kids. What's wrong with 'em?!
Thank you for sharing :)
I have a question, is there a place to find groups?
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Are you looking for a particular group?
I'm sure we can find what you're looking for.
There are a few I am interested in checking out. I am on my mission of awareness and advocacy, so am keeping my eyes open for likeminds in that area. Is there an easy way to find "groups"? Or do you just start searching until you find?
Just mooch around Steemit and you'll find what your looking for.
You could have a room in discord for like minded people.
Aggroed will set one up for you I'm sure.
Yea, that's what I've been doing.
Ok, I will be talking with aggroed, thanks!
