It was interesting to read that research supports the notion that immigrant Korean parents have a strong desire to pass on their mother tongue to their American-born children  in case they return to Korea for familial obligations and economic opportunities.  I found this particularly interesting because of my own culture and background.  I have also read about several cases where Mexican immigrant parents do not push for their American born children to keep their native language, but rather to learn English as soon as possible because it will benefit their futures here in the United States.  I think it is unfortunate that parents think that their children should learn English at the expense of losing their culture and native language.  Judging by my personal experiences, I would say that my parents saw learning English as a priority, however; not at the expense of losing my culture and native language (Spanish).  I will however say that because I didn't have that extensive familial conversation aspect growing up, my Spanish isn't as strong as my English.  My parents are both very reserved, quiet individuals, and allow our family is either in Texas or Mexico so I didn't have a whole lot of interaction in my native language outside of my home.  Mrs. Cho's story resonated with me because it reminded me of my mother.  She has also been in the U.S. for quite a while, but she still not confident in her English speaking abilities, therefore; my siblings and I communicate with her in Spanish. From personal experiences, I have noticed that Mexican parents want their children to learn English as soon as possible so that they can prosper.  They want it so bad that they are willing to sacrifice their Spanish speaking abilities.  According to this article, it seems that  Korean parents want their children to keep their native language, but for the same reasons.  The only difference I see is that, due to the bad economic situation in Mexico, parents don't seem to expect their children to return to Mexico to be successful.
