English language development in my life.
I was born in the Bronx, New York City on 1960. Raiced in a puertorrican family day care while my parents were working. No one spoke English there. -
Elementary school-1965 to 1968.
Public school at the Bronx. For the first time surrounded by English speaking people during three years. -
Came to Puerto Rico with my parents.
I was placed one grade below (in second grade) because I couldn't pass a reading and writting test that they gave me in Spanish. I took only one hour regular English class from Monday to Friday. -
1977
Studied during these years in Puerto Rico and only took English regular classes during one hour from Mondays to Fridays. On high school I met an american girl named Casey, with who I had a chance to practice English once in a while during our free periods. -
