In this episode of The Filipinotastic, We going to explore why the Filipino language is important to foreign-born Pinoys .

According to early childhood studies, many immigrants are gradually losing their native language as they get linguistically absorbed into English-speaking society. However, maintaining your original linguistic fluency is important for a variety of personal, social, intellectual, educational, and economic reasons.

What happens if a child is born in a foreign country and never learns his/her native language? Language is rich in history and culture. Learning the native language entails studying the same history and culture as your parents, relatives, and even prior and following generations. #filipinotastic #filipino #knagaroofern
