CHAPTER

The Importance of Learning the Mother Tongue

The reason why we want to learn the mother tongue and speak to our parents in their mother tongue is not because it's a good thing to know Swedish or French or Italian. It's that we cannot know who our parents truly are unless they express themselves to us in their mother tongues. Christina says you don't really know someone at a soul level unless you speak to them in their mother language. She also talks about her own experiences of growing up with an Israeli father but never fully connected to his Israeliness. And how she felt when people started speaking English to each other again, like getting to know him all over again.
