I Speak Engrish!

Episode 3 celebrates 3 decades. Anton just turned 30 in early May, and I turn 30 in late December. Is this considered our prime? 

Not outright condoning excessive drinking, but if you should take a shot each time I say 30, you might be drunk. Haha. 

We talk about acceptance, concerns, and hopes that come with this milestone and move on to a topic of dating, that I apparently am always amped up to talk about because I am so single.

Is fetishizing a form of racism? What's the line between flattery and outright racism? We talk mostly interracial dating because we haven't been dating other Asians lately. They just don't seem to like us, so that's not on us. Haha. No, I'm kidding, but really, we talk about fetishizing, which generally, we Asians don't experience within our own race. 

As always you can follow me @lillytalksalot and Anton, @whatsupanton (We actually changed our handles after we recorded this) and I hope you enjoy how (straight) men are trash! Haha.

Episode 2 is here and its about food!

Welcome! 

I Speak Engrish! is a podcast about travel and culture. 

The title is simply because many people assume we don't speak English on the single basis that we look Asian. Well, we are, but not really at the same time. With years of people making fun of Asian accents, we're taking it back for us, and spitting it back in your face. And while we acknowledge that not all Asian accents sound the same, did you know we're not all Chinese?, this has been the accent most associated with the Asian American community we grew up in. Accents are associated with our culture, so let's celebrate it! 

This podcast will primarily focus on our travel stories. 

Since we are Asian Americans, however, it has affected our experiences abroad and especially at home, in the US. We wanted to debut this podcast in May, which conveniently happens to be AAPI, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. AsAm empowerment, WHAT!?

Get to know more about us in Episode 1 and if you want, follow us on Instagram, @lillytalksalot and @whatsupanton. <<< We changed our handles.

We hope you enjoy and join us weekly to hear more.
