My Generation...

So the Hmong kids of my generation are more Americanize than ever. I guess, if you were Hmong you would understand where I was coming from. We, when I say we I really mean a few of us not all of us, want to be update to with everyone else, but it's still good to keep your roots because it the foundation of who we are. One of my biggest concerns is that in the next few years, I don't know if we will even exist anymore culturally wise. I have so many newphews and nieces and I barely hear them speak Hmong, mostly english in the household. I am not saying it a bad thing, it kinda of a funny thing and that where Hmonglish comes in. As we get older, we mix the two language together. I do it all the time. For example, I will say blah blah blah "and we" blah blah blah "me too" blah blah blah "my mom". And if I had friends around me they would say, "You speak so fast, what are you saying?" I am like I not speaking at a fast pace, I speaking at an normal pace. Yeah, it's weird. Anyhow. I always wonder how it be like to have a American little girl speak fluent Hmong? but I know this one does....not Hmong anyways...
