A. Anzaldua and other Chicano students were required to take two speech classes at their university to get rid of their accents.
B. Chicano Spanish is known to purists and most Hispanics as a low quality language and a destruction of the Spanish language. Chicano Spanish is a border language, a mix of English and Spanish born naturally of the fact that, for Mexican-Americans living in the United States, neither English nor Spanish is their native language. Chicanos have their own coded language they use to communicate with each other.
C. Standard English, Standard Mexican Spanish, Chicano Spanish and other languages are the languages Anzaldua lists as spoken by Chicanos today.
D. Pachuco is a secret language. Pachuco is a language formed with slang words of both English and Spanish. Pachuco is a language commonly spoken by kids and young adults, and it rebels against standard Spanish and standard English.
E. Chicano Spanish differs from Standard Spanish in a number of ways. In Chicano Spanish, two adjacent vowels become a single syllable instead of two, and the stress in certain words may change. Also, certain consonants between vowels are left out. Further, Chicanos use words that are no longer used in the Spanish language. Additionally, Chicanos tend to use words that were brought to the United States from Medieval Spain. Finally, Chicanos shift Il to y and z to s, and they leave out initial and final syllables in addition to borrowing words from the English language.
F. According to Anzaldua, Chicanos who grow up speaking Chicano Spanish believe that they speak poor Spanish and feel uncomfortable speaking Spanish to Latinas because they feel shame and embarrassment. As a result, Chicanos sometimes have low self-esteem because they feel that their language skills are inadequate.
G. Anzaldua says that the way to really hurt her is to talk badly about her language and significantly her ethnic identity as a Chicano Spanish speaker, she identifies as a Chicana and her language is her honor.
H. When Anzaldua says Chicanos straddle the borderlands, she means that Chicanos have a Mexican identity, but yet they live in America. Simply because they live in America, they should not be expected to give up their heritage and culture because being Mexican is a state of spirit. Chicanos see themselves as American with a Mexican identity. Living close to the American and Mexican border seems to bring on confusion about which country Chicanos actually belong to. Nevertheless, borders do not matter to Anzaldua because she defines herself by her Mexican identity, which will always be a part of her no matter where she lives.

F-According to Anzaldua, Chicanas who grew up speaking Chicano Spanish belief that they speak poor English and its illegitimate, a bastard language. Shame and low self-estimation, they were told it’s a wrong language, they were afraid to speak around other Chicanas.
G- She said the way to really hurt her is to speak badly about her language, that she is her language. Ethnic identity is twin skin to linguistic identity.
H-She means being Mexican, has nothing to do where Mexican lives on, which country it is about a state of soul just like the ocean, neither animals respect borders.
A. Anzaldua and other Chicano students were required to take two speech classes at their university so they would get rid of their accent.
B. Anzaldua describes Chicano Spanish as a new language; a language created from and for those who can neither identify with Spanish nor English. She says that Chicano Spanish was created so people would feel comfortable speaking to each other, a language they would feel identified with. Not only Spanish nor only English but both.
C. Three of the languages Anzaldua lists as spoken by Chicanos today are Standard Mexican Spanish, Chicano Spanish, and Tex-Mex.
D. Pachuco is a language that does not conform with the standard English or Spanish language, so it is made up of words that come from both languages. It is a combination of English and Spanish words.
E. According to Anzaldua some of the differences between the Standard Spanish and Chicano Spanish is that Standard Spanish is entirely Spanish words and words that have been evolved. Differently form Chicano Spanish it uses a combination of Spanish-English words “spanglish” and it still uses some words that are not longer in the Spanish language (words still exist but they are pronounced and written differently) such as haiga – haya.
F. According to Anzaldua , Chicanos and Chicanas who grew up speaking the language often feel ashamed. They feel ashamed because they “are not speaking correctly either English or Spanish”. They are pointed out because of the new language they have created which to others seems incorrect or not an official language.
