39、grants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don“t have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity.

Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity. For example, my aunt, w
41、ho has been living in Chicago for twenty-five years, has three children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen-year old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problems talking with her parents, but she still doesn“t understand Korean
