Speech

Slang terminology used with you friends and peers I think is a part of human nature. You should always have the ability to code switch to survive in this life. You wouldn't speak the same in front of your parents that you would in from of your friend. My parents speak very proper english and this is the reason I am able to code switch. Some of the word i use with my friends im almost possitive 7 out of 10 people would have no clue what we where talking about. Always remember the importance of CODE SWITCHING. OUR VOICE(my point of view)

    Ted, I understand exactly where you are coming from. Growing up with parents that spoke proper Spanish was kinda the same situation with me. And code switching I think can only be appreciated by mature people in the real world, right?

    Ted, I liked your blog. I feel like It is important to be able to code switch depending on your environment. I struggle with this a little bit, but in most cases I am able to pull it off, however I will never dumb down my speech just to fit in a conversation amongst peers.
