Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, since people are used to speaking their native language, many immigrants are having problems between the first generation and second generation because they don't have the same native language.
Also, the second generation are losing their heritage. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to start a new life in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas, such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.
