A heterogamous marriage is when partners come from different cultural backgrounds, such as different races or ethnicities, and may have different languages or values. In this case, Rosa and Garrett come from different ethnic backgrounds and have different language abilities, which can create potential challenges in communication and cultural understanding, especially when interacting with her grandparents who only speak Spanish.
