Mother Tongue is a language a person has learned from birth or within the critical period or that person speaks the best and so is often the basis for linguistic identity.
Mother tongue starts from where the learners are from what they already know. This means learning to speak, read, write and think in the first language. Our mother tongue used to prefer their own dialect and taught their children, so that they can easily understand one another and it helps us to learn more about their languages. And as they develop a strong foundation in the first language(mother tongue), children are gradually introduced orally, then in the second language(English and Filipino).
But the most important thing is that, there must be an open communication and understanding to one another and I'm proud to say that I'm from the province of Ilocos Sur and a true Ilocana.
