My story is:Born and lived for 5 years in Rome, italy, know the language quite well and am considered 100%,homegrown,uber italian by other italians and their families. But both my parents were born in croatia, though they both moved 2 italy in their late teens/early 20's, and know (as far as i know) perfect croatian and equally perfect italian. Strangely enough, they seem to always talk in italian for everyday conversations between themselves and the family.Also, ever since i was 5y old, (when we immigrated to the usa), we lived in america were the main language is english but my family still converses their italian language (we just won';t give it up for english).what do you consider me 2 be. I personally have great pride in my italian heritage and it helped shape the person i am 2day. But i have not forgotten or tossed aside my parents croatian origin, even though i am not conected personally connected 2 it,i have even began 2 learn croatian as 3rd language. now i ask u , what am i?
