Trying to preserve heritage languages in a monolingual society is hard! For decades, languages have been lost for the sake of survival by many newcomers to the U.S. Now, there is a generational readiness to reclaim what was lost, but where do we begin?
In February, Talking to Grandma host, Dr. Veronica Benavides, appeared on KQED’s Forum and got to chat with Forum host Alexis Madrigal and Karen Garcia, a reporter with the Los Angeles Times. They dove deep into a conversation about reclaiming heritage languages and heard stories from callers in the San Francisco area. We are thrilled to bring this KQED Forum episode to our Talking to Grandma listeners.
