Do you have a language barrier between your parents?

Question

And how do you deal with it? My parents grew up in a different country, different culture so I feel we have trouble relating with each other.

Answer 1

huh?then,i don't know what to say,that's funny

Answer 2

I don't have a language barrier per se, but rather a generational and/or time barrier. It causes much of the same problems as a cultural-language barrier, though. My parents were brought up in a very conservative, old-fashioned, and sheltered world. They just didn't know how to deal the way the modern world really works. And to this day they misunderstand how I interact with others and the world around me- they'll perceive me as rude while I see them as being overly formal. I deal with it by asking a good friend for help or advice instead of my parents, or go look it up online.

Answer 3

I'm not exactly in the same situation as you, I live in Spain and my dad is Spanish and my mum is English. I have some difficulties talking to them, with my dad because Spain was under a dictatorship when he was growing up and everything was completely different to the Spain I'm living now. More importantly i don't think my mum really understands what growing up here is like, its very different to English culture and i find it hard sometimes to talk about some things with her, she doesn't really get it. My parents have got more understanding with time, hang in there and i think you're parents will get used to the fact that you re receiving a totally different education than they did and it will get easier. good luck!

Answer 4

did no longer your mothers and fathers talk with you in chinese language once you have been youthful? in case you come back from a chinese language kinfolk, then you somewhat ought to communicate in chinese language once you're homestead. And communicate in English once you're in college or outdoors homestead. it rather is would not harm to be bi-lingual.... it may desire to be clever for a profession later in existence.
