dc.description.abstract | Lost in Translation: A Language Barrier, a podcast that sheds light on the experiences of non-Spanish speaking Hispanics and the unique challenges they face in navigating language, culture, and identity. Did you know that in 2020, nearly 62 million people in the United States identified as Hispanic or Latino? And yet, for many non-Spanish speaking Hispanics, the language barrier still remains a significant challenge. According to a recent Pew Research study, I found that while the number of Latinos who speak Spanish at home continues to increase due to the overall growth of the Latino population, the share of Latinos who speak the language has declined over the past decade or so. This highlights the complex linguistic landscape that many Hispanics navigate on a daily basis. In this podcast, we’ll be talking to a variety of individuals who have struggled with the language barrier in different ways. Some grew up in households where Spanish was not spoken, while others immigrated to the United States as adults and had to learn a new language from scratch. All of them have faced unique challenges, but they share a common goal: to find ways to bridge the gap between themselves and their Spanish-speaking peers. | |
