“I never spoke Japanese at home ‘cause everything was in English at school, and my friends were all local children who spoke only English, you know. I thought, ‘This is Hawaii, everybody speaks English.’ At some point, I didn’t speak Japanese at all. I thought it was normal.... When I was growing up in Hawaii, nobody at school encouraged me to learn Japanese. It was only my mother who cared and worried about it.” (Kondo, 1997, pp. 378)
