I'm in the same boat. Brazilian born to a Brazilian father and British mother. Lived in the US since 4 years of age. I also pass as a white American (but still have to deal with DHS and immigration bullshit because bureaucratic red tape has delayed my ability to apply for citizenship). Like Danilo said, there is no replacement for having lived and grown up in the United States. I'm a native English speaker, but Portuguese was my first language. I'm fully fluent in Portuguese, but I wish I spoke at native fluency. However I would not trade my native English fluency for native Portuguese fluency. English is simply way too valuable. |
