Having parents who don't speak English may cause many kids to feel embarrassed or confused when arriving to an English speaking country. Many kids tend to feel different than their friends and classmate because of the responsibility they have at home. Their tasks maybe to translate for their parents , shop for the family, helping siblings with schoolwork, responsible for getting places on their own and maybe even work to support the family.

With all this responsibility on the child, signs of their stress and mixed feelings begin to appear. But this doesn't mean that they don't love their family or care about them, it just means they are facing a lot of emotions at the same time. But these emotions build and some may feel like wanting to erupt, yet they know their parents will not accept that kind of behavior from them. So keeping those feelings can create even more stress , causing angry and frustrated all the time.

There are many ways to help your parents learn English to help ease the frustration and stress on their shoulders. For example, having conversions in simple English ;you can name all the products you buy in English for your parents to repeat . Also , asking your parents to listen to the radio may help.But ,of course, they wouldn't understand everything , but they will be training their ears to hear sounds commonly used in English. Even simple actions such as watching television, reading books aloud to them, or even playing games. But, first, you must make sure your parents are willing to learn English and accepting that it may not be easy. If they decide not to learn , then just look at the positive side of their decision. You are able to hold on to your culture a little longer and still be able to be proud of your parents of how hard they have work to give you a better life.
