Answer: But to me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It's my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and imagery. That was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world.
In this passage, Tan is giving us information about her mother's speech. She uses various examples to convey what the mother's English sounds like and the kind of things she can accomplish with it.
