Daisy Interview

https://youtu.be/eL_T3xVi7J0

I interviewed Daisy, who I have gone to school with for a few years.  Daisy learned Spanish as her first language and shortly after learned English.  Daisy learned from her friends and during down times how to fluently speak English.  I find it really interesting that children are capable of doing that where as it would be much more difficult for adults to learn a new language through non education channels.  Daisy said she uses English more in her regular life and that she now has a stronger grasp of the English language than Spanish.  It would make sense that the regularity of speaking English would allow the language to become more dominant as she gets older.  Daisy had a lot of help from her friends and teachers when it came to the properly enunciating certain words that she struggled with.  She would personally feel embarrassed when she said words incorrectly which would make her doubt the process of learning English.  Even with her struggles, she received a lot of support from her teachers and classmates. 

I can make a connection to what Daisy is saying about the support she received from students.  There are a few students that do not speak English very well at my school and they receive a lot of support from fellow classmates.  Even with the support, they still feel embarrassed and shy away from trying to speak English.
