Kevin is a Chinese immigrant who migrated to the United States in 2003 when he was 18 years old. He commented that even though he learned English in China, he still had trouble speaking and understanding English here in New York City:
I mean like before… like after I came…. here I learned English for like few years before I come here, but when I go out, I just don’t really [know] what people are saying and I was like, “do I know English?” This was a foreign land! Like sometimes you know the accent and you know sometimes people speak so fast like really get some time to get used to.”
