I am so tired of others expecting me to know every bit of Spanish, simply because I am Mexican. It is assumed that just because one is of the Mexican heritage they should know the Spanish language fluently. I do know a little bit of Spanish to kind of get me by, but my father never taught the language to me. My grandma, who speaks very little English, always tells me I should know Spanish. I would have loved to learn the language of my culture, but was only spoken to in English growing up. It’s not right for someone to say I should know the Spanish language because I am Mexican, especially when they do not know anything about my life.
