S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
Can you tell me about yourself? Can you tell me in English now? I'm Abigail. I'm a 15-year-old girl in 10th grade. I speak two languages and learning about two or three languages just because I love them. Which one is your first language?
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (IMG_2538)
My first language is French, because at first I went to school, like French school, and after I learned Creole. And where are you from? I'm from Haiti. Okay, so Creole is the official language on Haiti, but your first language is French. No, we have two official languages, because like...
0:51
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
During the war, we were taken by the French people, and the Republic of Dominican was taken by the Spanish, so we take the French from them, so making us have two languages in total. But most people there speak real, but if you went to a good school, you would be able to speak both of them. Good language. And at home. Well, language is their home language.
1:16
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
I'm at home. Since I was a kid, my mom always speaks French with me because she wanted me to take the French first because it's harder. But since I grew up, she just literally switched on me. And your dad, he speaks Creole or French? Oh, my dad speaks both. Both, even English. You think in 80...
1:40
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
French is more important they think is for more opportunity that the Creole Creole is more important than the French I would say French because the problem with Creole that you can only speak it with people from Haiti so we are very different kind of Creole but not the same because there's Creole Haitian there's the African Creole so it's not the same so if I give someone like a something like
2:08
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
if they ask me what language to speak i would say french because you'll be able to go to like francophone um place like people that where they speak french so you have more opportunity than queer because queer you only find it in haiti the one that i speak the you speak like bow you have more opportunity like finding job i'm 80.
2:29
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
If you speak Creole, you'll find job in Haiti, but if you speak both, like, you have more capacity to have a job. Because they would say, oh, you're educated. Because most of the time to speak French, you have to go, like, to really, really high school. Like, important, like, pay a lot, so you can learn that language. So that's the power of the language. Because here in the United States, you speak French, Creole, English.
2:56
S… Speaker 1 (IMG_2538)
Now, just only because you know that three languages, you know you can find like a job in the court, like Supreme Court, Federal Court, only for translate. So it's a power. Every language that you know and that you add to your life, they give you more powers. Yeah, example right now, I'm learning Spanish. I'm trying to learn ASL and Korean.
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (IMG_2538)
And there's a question that I asked her yesterday. Do you think it's more easy for you to learn another language and another language because you really know more than one language? Um, I can tell you it depends.
3:35
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
Is it a pen? Yeah, because I tried to. For example, if you're going to learn Korean, that would be harder because now you leave letters, you're just like in signs like Korean, Chinese, and all those isn't signs. So if you're learning a language and you want to learn another one, I would suggest you to learn another language that's closest to it.
3:58
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
For example, French, a lot of French word is really close to Spanish. So sometimes I don't even have to worry about what I hear because I already understand it. But for English, I just learned it because I needed to speak when I was at school. And I learned it about in one year. Still learning though, but now I can speak for English. Nice. When I moved to the United States, I don't have no English. So I learned the language like five years ago.
4:25
S… Speaker 1 (IMG_2538)
It was very hard. So now I say probably I can learn another language, but I think...
4:32
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
is because the age because when you are younger it's more easy yeah because your brain is still young so you'll be able to learn faster yes but even if you're old like nothing yeah i know i know i'm more old you yeah you can still learn it depends because example when i learn english i literally cancel french and creole for the whole time before i can speak english because i watch movies in english read in english even if i didn't understand it because
5:01
S… Speaker 1 (IMG_2538)
my brain will be like wait i don't understand it so my brain will try to understand the language so i can understand what's happening in the movies how many years you have in united states um i think about wait let me see about three years after two three years ago which one was the harder class that you take it when you come here for the first time and you're going to this class you say oh that's hard
5:25
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
Um, the hardest class, I think, I would say is, like, science. Science? Yeah. Because it was hard, like, um, speaking about, like, part of the body or even other words that was, like, big. Because science has, like, a lot of big words. So I was, like, super confused about it. So I would say science for me. And when you need to write, is it for you now, after three years, like, writing in...
5:55
S… Speaker 1 (IMG_2538)
English with like when you need to write an essay obviously in the school you need to write in English but for example me when I need to do some hard work I do in Spanish like very fast and I translate
6:09
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
Which one is more easy for you? You did in French and you translate? Or is it easy for you to do in English? For example, depending on the essay. If it's like a short kind of essay, I would just write it in English. But because my writing is kind of slow, I speak better than write, so I would just write it more easy. But if it's like a more deep essay, kind of like...
6:37
S… Speaker 2 (IMG_2538)
Like my college essay. I would obviously do it in French first because it's more deeper. Yeah. So I can just like write my idea in French and try to translate it because I don't really trust like the translating because they switch words and that happens sometimes. Okay. So I'm going to stop it.
