For Latinos, English can be a real curveball – NY Mets

Tagged: , , ,

“Johan Santana keeps a dictionary on hand. Pedro Martinez reads books in English in his spare time. Oliver Perez watches American movies while home in Mexico.

For the Mets’ Latino players, speaking English is a learning process that doesn’t stop once they arrive in the United States, and it doesn’t stop when they’re through with the club-provided language classes. It’s a daily reality, sometimes unconscious, sometimes focused on becoming more familiar and more confident with the language of the country in which they spend more time than their birthplace.”*
