In the last episode, I talked about growing up Asian American. A lot of us, especially in Southern California, grew up as the hyphenated American, which means we typically spoke at least another language at home. As we grew up in America, some of us retain our first language and others return it to their parents. Regardless how well you speak a second language, if you grew up in a bilingual household you'll notice that your personality, thought process, and actions change when you're speaking another language. Therefore, language is not just a form of communication but a mindset and personality.
