**建議先閱讀下面簡介，再聆聽這集 Please read this important note from podcast producer, Grace, about this episode before listening**

從台灣長大的製作人Grace，在美國養育台美下一代有很多想要探討的話題，這一集想要討論兩個主題:

One of the main themes explored in this third season of the podcast is that of how to raise a Taiwanese American. In the context of that theme, this episode covers two topics:

1. 台美第二代有一個對於不會中文的失落感，下面兩篇文章很多二代亞裔媽媽找到共鳴，這一集節目會探討為甚麼台美第二代在長大的過程中沒有學好中文，而這個失落感是從何而來?
Taiwanese Americans and generally Asian Americans often share their sentiment of regret at not knowing their heritage language. Many Asian American parents have opened up about how they relate to that feeling by sharing one (or both) of these two popular articles:

“The Parents Trying to Pass Down a Language They Hardly Speak”
“Forgetting My First Language”.


2. 在這一集另外討論的一個主題是一個知名雙語亞裔部落客在前一陣子發表了一篇文章，文章內討論她自己為什麼不想分享中文資源給白人父母，她表示白人父母沒有經歷過當移民的創傷，而還想藉由接收她免費提供的教中文的資源來讓自己白人孩子在社會階層更往上爬。這一集的後半段討論這個在英文雙語社團引起很大衝突的題目，學中文應該是亞裔資源最多，為何在資源分享上，亞裔不想分享資源給白人家庭，而作為養育台美下一代的父母，我們應該怎麼看這件事?
Recently, on an English bilingual Facebook group, a well-known bilingual influencer shared a blog post about not wanting to share more resources for learning Chinese. One of her stated reasons for not sharing is that she doesn’t want those resources going to Caucasian parents because she feels Caucasian parents have not gone through the pain that immigrants have suffered and they just want free resources to give their kids a leg up.
Our guests on this episode share their thoughts on both these topics and suggest how parents raising children to be Taiwanese American might broach these sentiments.
