Episode notes

This is a conversation between Minjee and her mom, Myeongsook. Throughout this conversation, you’ll hear Minjee speaking in English while her mom speaks in Korean. It’s a great example of how even within families, experiences with language and culture can be dynamic, creating misunderstandings, rifts, yes, but also room for depth, history, and connection beyond what can be translated.
