Respond to the readings.
I really enjoyed the readings about bilingualism because it reflects exactly how I feel; having a mixed identity can be beneficial and have long-term strengths, but it can be confusing and it takes a while for me switch between languages. Additionally, it sometimes feels like I have two different identities and mannerisms depending on the language I am using. As of now, when I speak in Czech, I am reminded of the type of culture they have there; the people are reserved, but loyal and respectful. There is a loss of national pride, but the people are scrappy and can do anything as long as they set their mind to it. That is the type of mentality I like to have when speaking Czech because it reflects when I speak it.
