Illiterate

I did some research for my previous post and came upon a website written in heavy prose using our province's dialect.  Since it was the only the sole source of information, I had to read the material to its entirety only to figure out that I barely understood the paragraphs I came across. 

Am I becoming a stranger to the language I grew up to? 

Have I been accustomed to the tongue of the majority that I already forgot my native tongue ?

A more apt question would probably be, "Did I even learn the language?"

Can't speak, Can't write.

Doesn't that make me illiterate?

  1. pansinin mo ang post mo, there's at least a couple of typo/grammatical error. baka naman kasi pagod ka lang or something, kaya di mo naintindihan ung binasa mo at kaya rin medyo marami ka mali sa post (considering that it was such a short post)

    baka nga pagod ka lang...
