We asked U.S. Latinos about their views, attitudes and experiences with the Spanish language. Here are a few of our findings: 📌 While most U.S. Latinos speak Spanish, not all do. Among third- or higher-generation Latinos, a much higher share are not Spanish speakers. 📌 About half of U.S. Hispanics who do not speak Spanish have been shamed because of it. Many Latinos report hearing Hispanics make jokes about those who do not speak Spanish. 📌 Most Latinos say it is important for future generations of Latinos in the United States to speak Spanish. But most also say it is not necessary to speak Spanish in order to be considered Hispanic. 📌 Spanglish use is widespread among U.S. Hispanics. A majority say they speak a combination of Spanish and English. Are you Hispanic? Do these findings resonate with you? #español #spanish #spanishlanguage #learningspanish #latino #hispanic #hispanicheritagemonth

Public views of the family are complicated. Americans are more pessimistic than optimistic about the institution of marriage and the family.
