Immigrants Suffer from Losing Their Identity by Howard Kim
Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language
when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so
immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second
generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation
is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from
different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as
getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not
only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation,
their children are losing their ethnic identity and even more, they are ignoring their
parents whose English is not very good.
For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three
children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen-year-old daughter speaks
English as a native language and she speak Korean very well, too. She has no problems
talking with her parents, but she still doesn't understand Korean jokes, and there are
sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't

want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very
Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her,
this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. I felt sympathy for my
aunt whenever my fourteen year old cousin said. "Mom, what is your problems?". The
third child is a twelve year old son. He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks
Korean to him as she does to the second daughter. He also has a problem communicating
with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages very well, but it
is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he
should learn to speak Korean.
We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons.
Immigrants should make and effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their
children understand their heritage by teaching them the parent's language. This is very
important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second
generation establish their identity.
