Culture can be defined by traditions, food, and music; but language is a connection to stories, conversations, and terms of endearment. Language gives a sense of belonging when with family, friends and a community. When language is lost it can make a person feel embarrassed, "What you don't speak Spanish?", "Hey can you translate this....Oh you don't speak Spanish?" "Why didn't your parents teach you to speak Spanish?" No matter the language, when language is lost in a family or community, it becomes a disconnection of a very important cultural piece. Dr. Cynthia Trinidad-Sheahan is the Executive Director of the Colorado Association for Bilingual Education.

Part of Latine Heritage Month, in cooperation with Loveland Heart and Sol.
