My Language Biography

I am 21 yrs. Old. I speak three languages; Cebuano or Bisaya, Filipino and


English language. My first language or my mother tongue is Cebuano or Bisaya. I acquire
Cebuano or Bisaya language because my family lived here in Ozamiz City since my mom gave
birth to me. I grew up around people speaking Cebuano or Bisaya. I understand my mom and my
family's dialect. They’re both a native speaker of Cebuano or Bisaya. They were originally here
in Ozamiz City; my mom is from Ozamiz City. That is why my mother tongue is Cebuano or
Bisaya. My mom and family speaks in Bisaya every day in our house. I understand them when
they were conversing. The skills that I can perform using my first language are I can read, write,
understand and speak using Filipino language.

My second language is English. I learned English language in reading fairy tale stories for
children and in school. Mostly teachers are teaching using English language. Since elementary
school, I just understand teachers whose speaking in English, I also understand when I read
something written in English. I can write also but not minding if it is grammatically correct, but I
can speak in English, but I don’t have the courage to converse in English with other people
because in the past my childhood playmates don’t understand me. Not until I reach Grade 11.
Back then, almost every day, there is a recitation in our English subject. I really hate recitations
especially when we need to answer in English language. Each student must really give their
opinions or answers. And no answer that has been said should be repeated. I really hate it but
what am I supposed to do? If I don’t answer I won’t have grades. I don’t really have confidence
in speaking in English with other people. It doesn’t even help also that I had a low confidence
with myself most of the time! Mostly of my classmates are smart. I’m just an average student
who studies hard. That time I’m fond of reading online books that’s why my English somehow
improve but still I don’t have much confidence in speaking. Using English language, I can read,
write, understand and speak but not fluently. My language strength is I can read, write, fully
understand and speak using my languages. My language weaknesses are in Tagalog language, I
can’t speak fluently and sometimes I can’t understand Tagalog clearly when a speaker has an
accent and talks very fast. I’m comfortable watching English movies when it doesn’t have
subtitles and the actors speaking clearly. My favorite language is English language of course.
Because I grew using it in reading my favorite novel’s and books. And I’m confident with it but
sometimes not. I can express myself using this language with writing my journal.
