I am so self conscious of my Spanish! Sometimes I dont want to speak because I mispronounce words all the time. After learning a second language I understand how difficult it is.. especially english just for the pronunciations!

When I moved from the south to a northern state, even though I spoke the same language, people used to tell me to speak because my southern accent was so strong. It was awful, it make me never want to talk.. I slowly lost it, but it comes out when I go back. Kids can be so cruel. I basically didnt talk for 4 years.. I love Spanglish haha!
