Spanglish is a Language Too! | Alondra Posada | TEDxYouth@UrsulineAcademy

Is Spanglish considered a language? Will it become a language?

Spanglish is a unique language that represents the completeness of both English and Spanish. The transition flows from a combination to a continuation of the first language. In this multi-cultural talk, Alondra Posada enhances the art and traditions Spanglish has to offer and how hispanics have learned to embrace it as a language.

Alondra Posada is currently a junior at Ursuline Academy. Alondra participates in three sports, including varsity field hockey, soccer and track and field. Last year, she was Vice President of the Stage Design Committee for TEDxYouth@Wilmington. She currently volunteers at Faithful Friends Animal Shelter. This past summer she volunteered at Tyler’s Camp teaching children a new sport along with teamwork and perseverance. Alondra has been working hard for the past two years to help her mother start up and continue her food business, Veronica’s Kitchen Catering Company. Alondra hopes to further her education in learning Portuguese, Mandarin, and French fluently in college and major in physical therapy with a minor in Latin American Studies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
