In this candid and thought-provoking episode, Annie and Lilah dive into their personal journeys as Asian English teachers navigating two very different landscapes: Taiwan and Vancouver.

But it’s not all challenges. The hosts also reflect on how their cultural background, language learning experiences, and empathy for students have made them better, more relatable, and more effective teachers. Whether you’re an aspiring educator or just curious about the intersection of race and language teaching, this episode offers honest insights, solidarity, and a few laughs along the way.
但挑戰之外，也有優勢可言。兩位主持人也反思了自己的文化背景、學習語言的經歷，以及如何因為這些因素而更能同理學生，成為更有影響力的英文老師。無論你是有志於成為語言教師，還是對種族與語言教育的交會點感到好奇，這一集都將為你帶來真實故事、心靈共鳴，還有幾聲會心一笑。
