“Yo diría que deberían ser un poco más conscientes, como si no todo el mundo hablara un solo idioma. Y no todo el mundo habla de cierta manera”, dijo Flores. “Hay múltiples maneras de hablar y aunque la mayoría de los estudiantes aquí son de un cierto tipo de cultura, como mexicanos y cosas como esa, todavía hay alguna otra diversidad necesaria en el programa de hablantes nativos. Así que supongo que sea consciente un poco más de eso. Y no centrarse sólo en una forma específica de hablar”.

And not everyone speaks a certain way,” Flores said. “There are multiple ways to speak it and although most kids here are from a certain type of culture, like Mexican and things like that, there is still some other diversity needed in the native speaker program. So I guess, be aware a little bit more of that. And not just focus on one specific way to talk.”
