  • Resumen

  • Nahum is a Singaporean of Chinese descent who's learned Korean to a professional level rather than Mandarin and his family's Chinese dialect.

    How should we feel about learning a language that's not the one we've inherited from our parents and grandparents? And how much do we really lose without this 'mother tongue'?

    Sneak peek of this episode:

    • Navigating the motivations for learning one language over another
    • Responsibility (?) and value of knowing Mandarin as an ethnic Chinese in the workplace
    • Significance of Mandarin as it differs across geographies

    • Requirements to identify as a Chinese person Also featuring inputs from:

    • Brian, a Chinese-American in Singapore learning Mandarin to do business in Asia

    • Clare, a Singaporean Chinese who uses Mandarin extensively in the workplace
