07. Cross-Cultural Relationships ft. Gene Hsu
from Real You Mandarin: The Podcast · host Angela Lin
Gene Hsu is a fellow American-Born Chinese (ABC) who had a previous career in cross-cultural communication & management, teaching non-Chinese individuals about Chinese culture, mentality, and perspectives. On the side, he has also facilitated cross-cultural relationship mediation to help friends challenged in their marriages due to cultural differences and misunderstandings. Lastly, inspired by his current life in Southern California surrounded by many Chinese immigrants, he was inspired to write children's books teaching language and cultural tidbits to foster cultural understanding ("What Do You Say To A Friend From China?"). We discuss a ton of new vocabulary words, including 全職爸爸 / 全职爸爸 quán zhí bà bà ("stay-at-home dad"), 語言障礙 / 语言障碍 yǔ yán zhàng ài ("language barrier"), 跨文化溝通 / 跨文化沟通 kuà wén huà gōu tōng ("cross-cultural communication"), and more.Find Gene:Amazon books: https://www.amazon.com/Gene-J.-Hsu/e/B092FYDCN7YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@chinamythIf you like learning new vocabulary through this conversational format, try the free preview lesson of our course Real You Mandarin: Beginnings at https://www.realyoumandarin.com, and check out the full syllabus to see if the course format is right for you.Follow us on Instagram at @realyoumandarin and on TikTok at @realyoumandarin
