heritage languages in families  

Definition

  • Strong families are a vital element for healthy individuals and societies. For millions of immigrant families, intergenerational tensions and cultural conflicts often pose problems between the children, who are quickly embracing the new linguistic and cultural ways of the host country, and their parents, who tend to retain their native ways longer.
