I interviewed my mom Celina. I recorded her on my phone. I think that it went fine. What really surprised me that I had not known about my mom was that when I asked her “Did it feel weird not to talk in portuguese?” She responded with saying “I was very lucky that when I moved here I already spoke English so I was very very fortunate that I felt comfortable with the English langue” I was surprised that she already spoke English. I did not know that I thought that she had to learn English here.

But as you would think there were some things I already knew. For example when I asked my mom “What foods do you like more?” in the back of my head I was thinking Brazilian foods obviously. And guess what she said “I love Brazilian food.” I think that because I knew most of what my mom was going to say kind of took a little bit away from the experience but it was not all that bad. I still had a lot of fun interviewing my mom.
