Lula

Jordan: When we first moved to the UK...
Mum: Mhm
Jordan: How long did it take me to learn English?
Mum: The first week, we started at the nursery behind McDonald
There was an article in the newspaper, I think
After two months two and a half, I think
And they were like complimenting you saying
"Eh, there's a boy who was speaking French, but now it's all gone."
"He's fluent in English."
Maybe just two and a half. It didn't take you long
Jordan: Did it scare you that I might forget my French?
Mum: Not really scared, but yeah it's always good to keep...
Jordan: A balance
Mum: Yeah, a balance of both languages. Yeah
Jordan: Did you ever feel like an outsider in some
Of the places you went to? Or like you didn't belong?
Mum: No, not really. The people were friendly. I feel it now
I feel it more now. Not in the 90s.
Now you feel like you go and look for a job
It's like you've come and taken my place
Even though they're not working
Jordan: Mm. People have changed, yeah
Mum: Oh, mhh. Changing not for the best, but for the worse
Jordan: Hmm, we'll see
Mum: Um, hmm
