Form the essay of Mother Tongue the writer told us some real stories about her mother who speaks "limited and broken language". As a Chinese America, her mother's speaks English with Chinese accent. which made her society status different from others. She feels hard to communicate with others, and also hard for her to express her ideas and imagination.
For my aspect, the culture and language has been the biggest obstacle for a second language learner to adapt into the new society. As an international student, sometimes I feel the same way what the writer's mother felt. All the strangeness, culture shock, or different ways of doing things drives me crazy, especially the first time when I was in United States which is 2 years ago. As I stayed here longer, I feel more comfortable than the first I got there. However, the English I spoke which is still very different from the native residents, I still feel like I am an outsider. The "limited and Broken English" made it hard to involve into this society.
