English Fluency Rises in Second Generation Among Hispanics, Says Report

by Diverse Online Staff , December 9, 2007

“On the positive side, it is clear that the third generation of Latino immigrants is, for the most part, following the pattern of past immigrants when it comes to assimilation,” he added.

Cohn says there is no way to tell the speed in which one generation will learn English but states that locale is a factor. Research on previous generations of immigrants found that living in a non-English speaking enclave delays the learning of English.

The report is available from the Pew Hispanic Center at http://www.pewhispanic.org.
