Blogging about language

My family has more of a northern wisconsinite accent.  I speak now in an Illinois chicagoian accent.  I feel more attached to the Illinois accent because I have been using it for so long. My family pronounces common words slightly different than I do because I live in Illinois.  I code switch between school and with friends.  In school I will be more formal and use fancier words. In contrast with my friends I use less formal words and more slang words.  My languages are both recognized in school with a heavier weight on the formal school language.  I can somewhat see my languages represented in class assignments, of course it will have more formal words because it is a school assignment.
