Why you didnt learn your language? It would be nice. So you could talk to them. maybe they miss talking to you...

I have 2 sisters.

Well she is only a half sister. So obviously it won't be that close.

I do know speak their language. It's just that I am fluent in english but not my native language. Its a large barrier in conversations.

I agree with Silvernight.. Having a sibling does not mean you'll feel less lonely.. It just means you have someone to have fights and squabbles with.. Hopefully, someday you can be friends and rely on each other, but it does not happen that way a whole lot... With siblings there's always a favorite, and the others get left out of the equation..

I know a guy that his two kids (almost adults) and his wife (ex now, thanks god) just used to speak in english, even at home but the guy and his wife were portugueses and just went to usa when they were around 20. I always asked: "What happened? You got out of the airplane and started speaking english? Their kids, two pure blood, didnt know a word in portuguese. Now the are adults and learned it cause one married with a portuguese girl and lives there and the other one was always crazy to learn his language. If you know how to talk to your parents, talk to them. They are probably old, they are not going to learn another language so easy.
About the sis/bro subject, i still offering my sis. She is a good lawyer and will be useful for something lol She is so difficult to deal with that even being really beautiful she never has a relationship that longs enough to us meet the new love of her life :K

I am not saying I want them to learn english. I just wish that they already knew english before I was born. Even though I can talk to them. I can't tell them my thoughts and feelings because of the massive language barrier. I don't speak chinese fluently, and I don't understand every word they say.

Ohhh yeah! I understand what you say. I dont get why but chineses dont like to... "be part" of the country for where they go. I noticed it already is stores owned by chineses... They speak to each other in their language even if the subject interest to us like "Do you have this dress in that color?" so they talk between them and normally the man answers. And i met a girl that they parents where chineses and they didnt know almost nothing in my language and she was like one of us (her pronunciation). I think that they are just shy.

I think its just mostly immigrants clinging onto their traditions, or being too old to learn english.

There are a lot of people that don't speak english fluently of many races. Although I live in NYC, so there is a high concentration of people of diverse backgrounds.

And when I say my family, I mean me, my parents and my grandmother. My younger(as in younger than my dad) aunts and uncles know english but they live in their own homes. My dad got to stay at home and work on the farm while they went to school, when they were living in China. =(.

Yeah, i know i guy that was the older brother and needed to do the same as your dad. He has 9 brothers so he and another sister left school to work so the familly could pay the bills and the kids could go to school. He went to usa too (he is portuguese)... btw, he is the father of the two "pure bloods". Your aunt and uncle live too far from you?

My parents can't depend on them for help forever. And soon they will be as old as my parents.
