Yo Hablo Español, Y También Ingles! 

By Nancy V

Ndazalelwa eUnited States kodwa ndafudukela eMexico ndisemncinane kakhulu. Ekubeni umama nootatomkhulu, abancedisayo ekundikhuliseni, bathetha iSpanish njengolwimi lwabo lwenkobe, oku kwaba lulwimi lwam lwenkobe okanye “lomama”. Ndiyathetha, ndiyifunda kwaye ndiyibhala ngokutyibilikayo. Ulwimi lwenkobe, ngokwengcaciso, lulwimi ochatshazelwa kulo kwasekuzalweni kwakho. Ekukhuleni kwam kwidolophu encinane yaseMexico ndandingalwazi kangako ulwimi lwesiTarahumara. Ulwimi lwesiTarahumara lulwimi lwemveli lwaseMexico kusapho lolwimi lwase-Uto-Aztecan oluthethwa ngabantu abamalunga nama-70,000 baseTarahumara kwisithili saseChihuahua, indawo endakhulela kuyo. Ndakhe ndachazelwa nesiNgesi xa abazala bam babesindwendwela besuka eMelika. Ndiya kulinganisa kwaye ndenze ngathi ndithetha isiNgesi ngokuphindaphinda ukuthetha izinto ezifana ne-shua shua shua (ulwimi lwam lokuzenzela), kuba oko kwakuvakala njengesiNgesi kum. Abazange bandilungise, isenzo sobubele ndiyakholelwa.

Ndandineminyaka eli-11 ubudala xa umama wasikhupha mna nodadewethu omncinane eSierra Madre yaseChihuahua wasisa eColorado enemibalabala. Ndandichasene kakhulu noku, kuba ndandiza kubakhumbula abahlobo bam kunye nootatomkhulu, kodwa ndandinomdla wokufunda isiNgesi kwaye ndibone indawo entsha. Sakhwela ibhasi enevumba elinamandla saza emva kweeyure ezili-16 safika eDenver, ikhaya lethu elitsha.

Umama wasibuyisela umva unyaka esikolweni ukuze sifunde ukuthetha isiNgesi ngokukhawuleza.

Kunyaka kamva ngoncedo lwe-ESL emnandi, enobubele (isiNgesi njengolwimi lwesibini) kunye ne-aardvark echwayitileyo kwi-PBS, mna nodadewethu sasithetha isiNgesi ngokutyibilikayo. Umfundisi-ntsapho we-ESL watsala nzima nam kancinane. Ndahlala ndibiza kakubi unobumba v; Kucacile ukuba kufuneka wenze into ngamazinyo nangomlomo ngaxeshanye ukuze kungavakali njengonobumba u-b. De kube namhlanje ndiyasokola ukutsho unobumba v ngokuchanileyo, nangona ngokufuthi ndicelwa umngeni ukuba ndipele igama lam, ndikhawuleza ndithi, “v, njengakuVictor,” ndincwine, ndikhumbula ngobubele umfundisi-ntsapho wam weESL.

Nam andikwazi, ngenxa yobomi bam, ndithi charcuterie, kodwa ukuba incoko elinye ixesha.

Ndilibulela kakhulu ithuba lokuthetha iilwimi ezimbini ngokutyibilikayo. Nokuba ingqondo yam ihlala isokola ukutshintsha ukusuka kwenye iye kwenye ibangela ukuba ndithethe isiSpanish, ifikile iluncedo. Ukufumana ukuncwina komntu evenkileni okanye ngomnxeba uziva xa ndisithi ndithetha iSpanish ngamava amnandi ngokwenene. Ukudibana nomntu ngolwimi lwabo kukwalunxibelelwano olulolo hlobo. Okuninzi kakhulu ukubaluleka kwenkcubeko kuvela ekubuzeni umntu ukuba baqhuba njani ngolwimi lwabo lwenkobe. Into endiyithanda kakhulu yile yokuba umntu akhawuleze andibuze ukuba ndisukaphi emva koko incoko isuka apho.

Ukuthetha ngezinye iilwimi ngaphandle kwesiNgesi eUnited States akusoloko kusenziwa ngehlombe. Andizukwazi ukubala inani lamaxesha bahlobo kwaye bendihleli etafileni yesidlo sasemini sincokola malunga nokuba kuqhubeka ntoni ngobomi bethu kwingoma yethu yokucula yaseSpanish kuphela esidibana nayo ngumntu ongamaziyo, okanye ngamanye amaxesha umntu osebenzisana naye. Umsebenzi esithi “ungathethi obo bubhanxa apha, andikuva kakuhle, xa uthetha ngam?” Ndikholelwe xa ndisithi, ngokuqinisekileyo asithethi ngawe. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba sithetha okuthile ngeenwele zethu, okanye ukutya esikuvuyelayo ukukutya, inkitha yezinto, kodwa hayi nina. Ubuncinci kumava am.

Sinenyhweba yokukwazi ukuva iilwimi ezininzi apha kumbindi weDenver. Ngokomzekelo, isiVietnam, isiTopiya, iSpanish kunye nesiNepali. Kuyayonwabisa ukuba abantu abanolwimi olufanayo bahlangane kwaye bathethe, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo babe ngabo. Ulwimi yenye yeendlela zokuvakalisa ubuntu bethu kunye nobuni bethu.

Ke namhlanje, ndiyakumema ukuba uhlale unomdla kwaye ufune iindlela zokugcina into ekhethekileyo kuwe ngolwimi lwakho lweenkobe. Zingaphezu kwama-6,000 XNUMX iilwimi ezithethwa ehlabathini lonke; yiba nomdla, mhlobo wam. Kufuneka sifunde ukuhlonipha iilwimi zethu zokwenyani. Ukwazi ulwimi lwam lwenkobe kundinika isidima nobulumko kookhokho bam. Ukwazi olunye lweelwimi zam zomthonyama yenye yeendlela zokuzazi isiqu sam kunye nalapho ndisuka khona. Iilwimi zomthonyama zingcwele kwaye zibambe ulwazi namandla ookhokho bethu. Ukugcina ulwimi lwethu lwenkobe kukugcina inkcubeko nembali.
