Highest Version

Learning a new language can be difficult. What makes it even more difficult is the pressure of learning it so that you can connect with your parents more. I sit down with content creator, Emily Nguyen, about her Instagram page @emdaylist where she shares her journey of learning Vietnamese for her parents. Her strong desire to connect to her own culture has brought some obstacles in her journey but has presented great achievements as well. From allowing herself to be vulnerable or inspiring others to take on the same journey. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
