The identity of heritage speakers has been examined in great detail, but what happens when heritage language learners (HLLs) who speak different languages meet face-to-face to discuss matters of identity and language learning? There have been increasingly more language curricula attempt to meet the diversity of the learner’s needs. Do language curricula sufficiently reflect the learners’ perspectives? What can we do to better support and foster their learning? How do HLLs perceive their language and cultural identities, language uses, and affectivity? This article explores these questions through conversations between heritage learners across languages. This action research presents a collaborative project, Heritage Meets Heritage (HMH), in which college-level Korean and Spanish heritage learners discuss issues of identity, language uses, and affectivity toward their heritage language (HL) and culture (HC). The findings from this illustrate that Korean and Spanish HLLs share many self-perception aspects of HL and cultural identity, language use, and interactions with the HL community. Furthermore, the pedagogical implications of the study are also discussed.
