How often do you speak Hmong?

- Start date
Sadly to say I speak English most of the time and only speak hmong when it's only necessary. I'm embarrassed to speak in hmong because I'm not very fluent and I think I sound funny. I'm especially embarrassed talking to the elders because then I'd have to search for the correct words or end up talking to them in hmong mixed with English and they would go like, "what did you say?". I feel so stupid I just want to punch myself in the head. It's so weird because I understand what they're saying completely but when I tried to talk back I go paranoid like I have a speaking problem or something. gee, I feel so bad. Maybe I should start talking hmong more often.

I agree with you. We are Hmong so why afraid of your own language. Got to keep them alive, it's the way we were born. Nothing can change that since you aready being born into Hmong. Why afraid of others know that you are Hmong since you already are??? I saw others they are afraid of being Hmong and trying to be like American. What's the different about us Hmong and American? ONe thing I can describe, "Does not matter we are human being, everyone can die someday)
I speak 99.99% Hmong and not afraid of my own language. The only times, I speak English is when speaking to American or other people that don't understand our language. I'll kept my own language and teach my children our language in the future. I don't need to teach them English, no matter they will learn from warching TV or school.

well i speak in hmong most of the time even if im at skool and at home...i HAVE to speak hmong to my parents cause they don't understand hmong...this sounds weird but sometimes i don't understand english words even the simplest word...but i like to speak my language...proud of it too
i think 60% of english at home and 30% hmong at home. my mom speaks english at home a lot and i see my mom more then my dad so thats why i speak more english at home. i wish i spoke more hmong though. i'm starting to try. i don't know a lot of hmong words, i only say the easy ones. i hate myself sometimes because i'm not so good at it.

To All Peeps who can speak hmong: if koj tsis paub hais lus hmoob, people make fun of u, muab koj cem, qhuab qhia koj kom koj hais lus hmoob, and lots of rules. i have heard some people did this to their kids. I also have a cousin and i don't like them at all and he got like 4-5 kids and they can't even speak hmong at all and always speak english and it really annoying me and i were like "damn u stupid kids, u can't speak hmong or what" (i didn't say this but i think in my mind) and now this family have no cousin (yeah for real) because my cousin have a fight with my uncle and it was 8 years or 9 years ago and he don't even care about his cousin anymore. they were hmong that have no last name. when people invited them, they don't care and they don't want to come. well all my related family say that "muaj ib hnub twg lawv yeej yuav tsum npam xwb" because they hate every people who related to them.
