It falls to the children of immigrants to work to keep their parents culture.. Its infinately harder, when you have also lost your parents language-- but English is not the the reason for culture loss-- it is a much broader problem, of which language is one of the most evident markers.





One of the reasons for culture loss for immigrants is the lack of the luxury of time. There is just not enough time for the pleasures of culture, your own or otherwise, when in order to achieve your dreams in your new country you have to expend all your time in the honing of your skills and one of the most important skill is to have a good grasp of the medium of expression which is your new country's language.
