Your English is Great

"Your English is great, but..." That sentence followed José Martيnez across classrooms, cities, and countries. Born in Cartagena and raised between Colombia, New York, and California, José grew up translating for everyone-except himself.

Now an Emmy-winning journalist, he turns the camera inward in this lyrical, deeply personal memoir about identity, migration, grief, and finding your voice when youve lived in many.

From childhood by the Caribbean sea to newsrooms and loss, Your English is Great, But... is a story about loving two languages, navigating three homes, and carrying the weight-and wonder-of who you are and where you come from.

For anyone whos ever felt between places, this book is a homecoming.
