I speak English and Shona with an ongoing desire to become fluent in French. My mother tongue is Shona; however the older I get I find most of my thoughts being in English.

I understand a lot of Jamaican patios and Nigerian pigin and honestly I feel like me and the little doggy have a mutual understanding.

I’m not sure how it impacts my life, but slowly I have started to worry that my grandchild may not speak Shona; but if they are fluent in French or Twi, then how could that break my heart?

What do you speak or wish to speak?
