Priscilla Blossom, a Nicaraguan- and Mexican-American, grew up speaking Spanish but felt pressured to assimilate and would sometimes only communicate in English. Now as a mom, she worries that her son, who only speaks English, is missing out on his heritage. It's common for Latino Americans to not be fluent in Spanish.
' Blossom says she's 'always been fluent' in Spanish, but says it's 'been a little choppy' and is 'not as good these days.' When her 9-year-old son was 2, her family moved from Miami to Denver, Colorado, and Blossom says she now has virtually no one to speak with in Spanish. The mom had hoped to raise her son to be bilingual, too, but the move has made it difficult.
