On this bonus episode of Talking to Grandma, our host, Vero, had the honor of interviewing her mother about how she went from only teaching her children English because she was made fun of for her accent to finding joy in her grandson’s accent.
Irene is a mother of four children, grandmother of five children, and has been married for 46 years. Her story has inspired our work at Bilingual Generation, and we can’t wait for you to hear and be inspired by her story!
If you are a grandmother or know of a grandmother who would like to share their story of language and cultural preservation, please reach out to us at hello@bilingualgeneration.com - we would love to feature them on a future mini-season of the podcast!
