Reflection: The article on Pidgin in Ghana made me think about my writing in English even though I am a native Spanish speaker. In Guatemala I would be considered a "ladino," who is a person that comes from a mixed of Indigenous and Spanish background. It is easier for me to write in English, I feel that English has more structure to it. Besides, most of my writing is academic and most of the journals in my field are in English. I also think that writing in English give me more objectivity.
