Question

Analyze the significance of the last line, "Through lack of practice and not having others who can speak it, I've lost most of the Pachuco tongue." How can you connect it to the importance of speaking Chicano Spanish?

Answer 1

Answer:

The phrase explains how you can lose a dialect when you do not have anyone to talk it with, you do not have practice. In the worst occasion, the dialect can disappear because there is no one that talks it. There is a connection between the phrase and the importance of speaking Chicano Spanish because if it is not spoken, then it can disappear, but as there is someone out there speaking it, the Chicano Spanish is still existing.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to explain the phrase given and then relate it to the importance of speaking Chicano Spanish, which is a language that is a mix between Mexican Spanish and lexicons of the English language. The most important connection to the phrase is that speaking the language is the only way the language can survive.
