Sometimes it is a problem when a family leaves the U.S.A. to Mexico. Today more children go back to Mexico and the children do not speak Spanish, only English. In the U.S.A. they learn English and the teachers in Mexico do not know English. It is important that in the home we speak Spanish because we need to have our children remember our traditions, customs and language. I could help the parents to help their children speak Spanish when I go back to Michoacรกn because I am a teacher in Mexico. This way I can help my community in Mexico. So people in America who are from Mexico need to speak Spanish in their homes. The children need to keep their Spanish language. But I do think it is important to speak both English and Spanish.
