Mother tongue.

i think TLK’s point is valid but kids are at a disadvantage as long as they have contacts with older folks back home. it’s true in my family…my bro’s kids are in early and late 20’s and they do not speak a word of Urdu and when folks from India come over for a visit they can NOT communicate with them and that’s NOT fair either to them or the visiting relatives. this widens the gap between them

It really gets my goat () when I see becharay elders putting together broken sentences in english just to communicate with their grandchildren because the parents didn’t see the value in teaching them urdu.

My pet peeve I guess.
