Insecurities about Language: The Death of Language within Pona's Family
Welcome Language Learners to the Insecurities about Language podcast: The Death of Language and to an exciting topic I am tackling called the Death of Language...within families! In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Pona who lives in Toronto, Canada, is the first child of an immigrant family who grew up exposed to several languages, but only spoke English for many years. She has been working to change that in adulthood and is thrilled to have been able to talk about her heritage language experience on this podcast!
In this episode, you will hear Pona speak about her parents language, which is a Chinese dialect from Southeast China called Teochew. Pona states that her heritage language isn't dead, its less alive due to migration.
You will also hear her speak about her families history as it relates to language, what contributed to the death of language, her emotions with the language growing up and her motivation, and so much more. She will define what the Death of Language within families mean to her and of course, her insecurities, because this is a podcast about Insecurities about Language!
