The issue of bilingual learning has been a hot topic of debate for some time now. It is a consequence of the influx of immigrants into the United States whose first language is not English.

I subscribe to Richard Rodriguez and Gloria Anzaldua posit in their essays “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” and “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” respectively, except for ...
