Amy Tan rejects the term "limited English" because it implies a lack of ability or intelligence, when in reality her mother is proficient in her own form of English. Tan's mother communicates effectively in the language she knows best, which is influenced by her Chinese background and unique life experiences. Using the term "broken" or "limited" English diminishes the value of her mother's voice and cultural identity.
