For this assignment I chose to speak with my mom about the different ways we use language together. She had told me that growing up she would pronounce and spell words differently since she learned English at 16 years old. Spanish being her first language she has a accent, and learned English through popular tv shows and speaking with other English speakers. Since language is always evolving, I will sometimes tell her what new sayings or “slang” is popular today. However, at the time she learned English, she used other sayings among her friends. This shows that over time new terminology is made and forgotten. I would say the way we use English differs greatly between us, as I never learned Spanish. She often switches between the two languages while talking, using English in her everyday conversations. All in all, I would say English changed over time through new slang, writing, and the introduction of new words.
