I don't know about Integration, there aren't a lot of Somalis where i live.Wtf
This whole time I was feeling embarrassed that Somali kids here couldn't speak a lick of Somali but British kids could but you telling ke that's literally the only language they can communicate in? W retracted runti. How bad is integration there?
My ayeyo can speak English fluently and she's only been here 8 years
I have been to Harlesden, which looks like a mini Somali city so you can imagine there isn't much effort to integrate.
if your grandma can speak English in 8 years she is already better than half the Somali parents in the UK. I think it's because there are so many Somalis here, they can just go about their lives without making any effort to speak English.
btw this doest apply to all the Somalis in England. obviously there are many who put in a lot of effort to integrate while making sure their kids know their mother tongue. the ones i've came across so far just seem to be the opposite.
