Language has been a difficult part of my life. During my primary school it is compulsory to learn different types of languages. The first language I learned in school was Malay, it was the language of native speakers, the second language I was asked to learn was Chinese, followed by English. When conversing with my Malay peers, speaking the native language was essential, mathematics was taught in Malay, science in Chinese. So, both languages ​​were not a language to be ignored. Language is a form of communication and is considered an exclusively human mode of communication, therefore in order to specialize in multilingual one has to face many challenges. First, learning a second or third language faces multiple challenges. Forcing someone to learn a language as a second or third language is inappropriate; consequently it would be an abomination. At home, Chinese was one of the main languages ​​to be spoken: if inappropriate phrases or words were used, the consequences would be severe. Chinese was the language I had to learn under the influence of my parents. For them it is a cheerful state of mind, strengthened by relaxation. From my point of view it is more like a medicine that chases away all the ghosts of fear. During elementary school I attended a Chinese school while Chinese was a compulsory language. Barbara Mellix was a student who graduated with a master's degree in creative writing from the University of Pittsburgh. His article "From outside in" was published in the Georgia Review in the summer of 1987. As Mellix pointed out in his article he highlighted his childhood experience was similar to mine. She portrays herself as… at the center of the card… legitimacy of myself. Until I am free to write bilingually and code-switch without having to translate, while still having to speak English or Spanish when I would rather speak Spanglish” (288) Anzaldua clearly expresses the challenges she has faced being multilingual, one must be prepared to give up another language. In conclusion, as Melix, Achebe and Anzaldua pointed out in their article, being multilingual one faces many obstacles. Forcing yourself to learn a new language as a second or third language can lead to disappointment. Code switching is often used when speaking different languages ​​to different peer groups. And last but not least, language proficiency is crucial to deal with criticism if inappropriate language is used. However, if these challenges are overcome, many benefits will be achieved such as better communications, personal relationships, etc.
