From a Vietnamese-American Perspective:
Hi! My name is Yen. The purpose of this project is to focus on the diversity of language in America. I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a unique blending of two different cultures. It is not easy growing up in America balancing two different customs, languages, and ways of life. However, I am very proud of my bilingualism and how it defines me as a person today. I can't wait to share my experience through the stories of Nadia, Sammie, and Kenny. The challenges they faced, such as Kenny's "American accent", Sammie's language lessons from her mom, or Nadia's siblings' influence on her bilingualism helped me reflect upon my own experiences. Through this entire process of my artifact analysis, interviews, and exploration of new perspectives, I have developed a greater appreciation for how I was raised. So read on, and enjoy.
