Our worldly experiences are reflected in how we speak – our Language, Accents & Pronunciations. We are constantly adapting to the society we find ourselves in. The ways we assimilate into different societies leave behind an imprint on our language, our accents, and our diction. The way we speak is probably one of the main ways we either associate or differentiate from those around us – it’s one of the main ways we define ourselves.
In this episode, we explore the phonetic footprints from our journey as third-culture kids. How they came about, and why they define us. As bilingual immigrants, we also unpack our complicated experiences with the languages. What language did we grow up speaking? What language do we express our deepest vulnerabilities in? What is actually our mother tongue?
