Latinos & English
English Usage Among Hispanics in the United States (November 2007)
This Pew Hispanic Center recently released the study that discovered that while Latino adult immigrants consider insufficient English an obstacle to their acceptance in the United States, their children are unlikely to have the same problem. Among Hispanics in the United States, fewer than one-in-four (23%) Latino immigrants reports being able to speak English very well. However, fully 88% of their U.S.-born adult children report that they speak English very well. Reading ability in English shows a similar trend. http://pewhispanic.org/reports/report.php?ReportID=82
