Subsequently, the creation of another club, smaller than the previous one, took place in the city of González Catán, maintaining a constant interplay. It could explain this rise in the Portuguese community to create clubs as a response to the threat felt by the first immigrants at the loss of their language, customs, and values and who therefore try to keep them alive in the area of the club. It should not be forgotten that for the seventies these immigrants had Portuguese or Argentina children monolingual in Portuguese attending Argentine schools where taught them the Spanish and the parents saw and felt was lost their mother tongue. In communities such as the described each generation begins with a restrictive monolingual repertoire to the intimacy of the home and the educational institutions become bilingual and provide a wider repertoire. Bilingual subjects appear this way. See also Argentina–Portugal relations Argentines of European descent Spanish Argentine References European Argentine Immigration to Argentina Argentina
