Haha I realised I said 92 instead of 29 when I spoke German 😂 had so much fun talking with you 🤍
😂❤️
you speak solid german for someone who stayed there only for 6 month.. Hast du gut gemacht..Liebe Grüße aus Berlin
Regarding the racial segregation thing, I think it depends on what school you go to in the states. At my public school, there were around 1,500 students and it was quite diverse. Everyone hung out together. I think it just depends.
Happy Lunar New Year! I grew up living in many places due to my dad being in the military and it made me more accepting of all people and had friends of all races. We were all friends. Still to this day, I love meeting people of all cultures.
Watching this video makes me realize there are so many parallels between being Korean adopted and being a third culture kid. It's obviously a different experience bc you grew up with access to your birth culture through your family, but I can totally relate to feeling out of place in either country (sticking out like a sore thumb in the US and people not considering me Korean "enough" when I'm in Korea) And I'm also a huge ARMY bc BTS has been such a tangible way for me to connect to Korea. Thanks for putting content about identity out there bc it's fascinating to hear other people's experiences!
Unrelated. Just wanted to send out a hug saying I hope you are doing well. Sounds like the behind the scenes at NS has been rough and trying for everybody. Sad to hear but Danny had to let everybody know. I am just some random mommy/professional/middle aged lady type out here in Houston but I have come to care about you 3 and I hope the wounds between you heal with time. I have unfortunately been around long enough to have sense of the awkward pain I suspect you are living with and I hope that life brings you all opportunities in recompense beyond what you can imagine right now. Blessings to all 3 of you, Danny, David, and you, dear Anna. Happy Seollal and I hope this year brings you peace, contentment, and prosperity. God bless.
Omg She said Bulgaria!!Wow I did not expected to hear that there were Bulgarians in that major!sending you guys lots of love!🇧🇬🇧🇬❤️
i have much respect for you guys that you had the courage to move in another country ,far away from your parents without even speaking the language..wow this sure was hard as a kid
What a shame it got cut off! as this is one of your most interesting videos.
Such an interesting video! I related so much, currently living in the UK but having grown up in Canada and Romania (where I was born). Being "third culture" is SO REAL!! It is of course different in certain ways when you are physically similar to the majority, but the confusion about where you belong is still there, and very real... as is the realisation that the advantages of being a third culture kid most definitely outweigh the negatives!! At least I think so... :)
I literally saw you growing and glowing 😍
So happy for you...
Hope you'll get more success ❤️
Hi Anna! I want more for this episode pls. 😁 Thanks and stay safe always! 💜
i relate and also don't relate to tcks as a child of immigrants in the states... i def agree with the identity crisis thing, but i think, ironically, bts made me want to get in touch with my roots more even though i'm not korean LOL. sadly my parents country is war torn and i don't have many ways of visiting or keeping in touch, but i do what i can. this was such a nice video to watch! you two seem so cool i can see why you're friends. also 9:15 this kinda helps make the kpop world make a little more sense to me lolol 😭 and happy new year!! 💜
This is such an interesting topic Anna, please do a part 2!
Happy Lunar New Year Anna 🐰🐇 Hope we get the rest of the video sometime later
I’m American and I speak Spanish and English it’s a plus because a lot of jobs here in America you get paid more to be bilingual. I plan to learn many more starting with Korean then Chinese 😊
As a black person, I totally agree with the racial group thing and I got bullied for wanting to hang out with Asian and white people growing up so I feel what she saying.
Some people of the same race stick together because they share the same culture and for protection from racism, it’s group safety.
@@davidwong4821 I agree with that and I understand that reason I was just used to hanging around the same group for so long and I see different people from different backgrounds and ethnicities hanging out, I just wanted to meet different people and see what's that like u know?
Happy Lunar New Year to you and family and friends. May 2023 bring you health, happiness and prosperity. You should have your best friend on more often. You compliment each other well and she doesn't swear every sentence lol. Very enjoyable video.
Happy Seollal and good health to you and your friends and family, Anna! 🎉
HI ladies! Happy Seollal to you both in retrospect.. So this was an interesting watch. I thought third culture meant something more similar to my story than the ones you mentioned: I'm British born but to a Turkish mum and Mauritian dad, so I'm only British by birth but not blood... then I had to learn about my parents' cultures when we went on holidays to their home countries. My younger bro is just 17 months younger than me and we learned resilience and independence early when we travelled alone together with no adults, we'd fly to Turkey every summer to see our grandparents for example. We grew up in Paris part time also, so now at 43 I speak 6 languages and I'm learning Korean! Those are some benefits but I can definitely relate to not feeling like you fit in anywhere.
Anyway regardless of the definition I think there's for sure similarities between children of immigrants and people living in non-native cultures. My kids are black and white from my side and Peruvian Chinese from their dad's side, and I raised them in the UK and in Spain for 3 years. We now live in Glasgow (Anna you'd fit right in now, there's a large Korean population here, and Partick is called the Chinatown of Glasgow because there's more East Asian restaurants than "indigenous" places, it's great. We even have a Korean church!) and I feel way more accepted in Scotland where they are funny, open and welcoming compared to the south of England where a longer exposure to other cultures has maybe caused them to be more close minded.
I'm coming to Seoul in June so let's see how it is for me there... Thank you for your videos and sharing your experiences! 💜
This was a nice video! I can definitely relate, I'm also a third culture kid
I am not a TCK but I am a foreigner in the country in which I currently live but people don’t realize it until I speak. Over the years I have quietly listened to the racial comments in some situations that I have encountered, interesting to hear how some people really feel about cultures outside of their own and sad that this type of ignorance persists in the Information Age.
Happy lunar new year to both of you !
Thanks much for this video, i feel exactly the same, ethnic Korean myself speaking three other languages fluently and having lived in different countries and having friends all over the world is amazingly cool :)
Yet still feel Korean when I’m around Koreans .. lol
두 분 다 목소리도 좋고 라디오처럼 재밌게 들었어요!! 💖❤️ 요런 수다같은 컨텐츠 마니마니 올려주세요 😍
Never knew this had a name. S.American by birth, but educated in USA military boarding school. A different experience I suppose. Still learning from it. My wife is American by birth, but raised in international schools in Italy. Neither of us ever fit in really. Until we met each other. Happy to be outcasts together.
Anna, Happy Lunar year to you 🎉. Cultural identity is kind of hard when u are between two cultures . I just love your English accent ! 🔥. Wonder if u can do typical American accent. That is going to be so lovely to hear .
Anna, I have couple of question. Do u have a Polyglot ability? How easy or difficult for you to learn a foreign language ? I imagine you speaking fluently German or Russian that would be soooo super cool!
Definitely not a polygot 😅 but English I picked up easily because I was so young when I learned it! I had some people at my school who could speak 6 languages and they were polygots for sure
10:33
Aww, I wish rest of the footage was there.
I really loved today's content.
But still I enjoyed it ♡
Happy Lunar New Year to all!! Love this video 🩷
Happy lunar new year, Anna! Your friend looks like Seulgi
Anna you are lovely and so is your friend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
These type of videos of yours are my favourite. Hope you make a part two soon
this was great! really enjoyed watching it
Happy Lunar New Year, Anna and Mun. Wish you the best. Thanks for interesting video.
Really loved this video.
I love how I get to learn a lot through your videos anna ♡♡
Keep going!!
I love your videos 😍
Another advantage of being their world culture is that you adapt to environment and culture quickly and you are more tolerant to other culture.
You didn’t suffer racism in the UK? You’re very lucky, maybe it’s because you’re an Asian female and racists are less likely to be racist to Asian females and because you went to a middle class boarding school. I’ve suffered a lot of racism growing up as a Chinese male in the UK and it’s really affected my life and beliefs, Asians in western countries suffer a lot of racism and racial abuse. I still suffer racism in the UK as a 38 year old and I’ve been called ch**k many times. I’m Chinese.
But there are so many Chinese people in London nowadays, you can’t be a minority? Unless you’re in a small town
Omg Your friend looks so much like seulgi
Aww!! Fun vid and gone so soon!! I can't never fit into my birth culture too
전 미국 대학 유학생인데 방학 때마다 왔다갔다 할 때 어디 속하는 사람이지 이거 느끼는 거 엄청 공감합니다 ㅠ 진짜 빨리 졸업하고 한국에 정착하고 싶.... 하아 우울해 ㅜ
TCK here! We are the best
Hi, Anna
When I went to high school. They did not really push foreign languages. I took French for two years. Could not really put to use. So I lost the ability. I would like to learn Spanish one day. Many spanish speaking people in the state now.
The sudden end was hilarious 😂
Thanks!
Thank you! 😮 happy new year!
I like this guest. You should bring her back
haha thanks for the cool video its interesting also cuz i was part of the classical music scene
Happy Lunar New Year Anna 🎆🎇🎊🎊🎊
Happy Lunar new year Anna!
Happy Seollal Anna.
Regarding the dating thing I think you guys were highly influenced by living abroad when you were young. When I was living in the UK i totally get when the guy you dated texts you only a few times but back home in PH we text like mad day to night lol. And now too much texting for me is a bit too clingy 😁
좋은 내용, 좋은 대화에서 아쉬운 두가지는
첫째는, 길가다 가끔씩 들었던 '칭챙총'을 그닥 인종차별로 임팩트있게 받아들이지 않으셨다는 점..
왜냐면 실제로 많은 흑인분들은 절친 아닌 이상, 타인종이 Black의 'B' 자만 꺼내도 눈을 휘둥그레 뜨며 정색하려 하는 경향이 있잖아요. 차별 아니어도 차별로 받아들일 마음의 자세랄까^^;
근데 대놓고 칭챙총 들었던걸 인종차별 카테고리에 굳이 넣지 않고 넘어간거랑
둘째는, 연애시- 하루종일 사소하게 많이 연락 통보- 이 부분은, 남녀가 둘다 바쁜 직장인이고 30대 넘어간 나이이면 훨씬 줄어들었을 겁니다 ㅎㅎ
둘중 한명 이상이 적당히 한가해서 생기는 일일것 같아요. 곧 경쟁사회에 뛰어들면 너무 치열해서 그럴 에너지도 별로 없어지고요..ㅜㅜ
오히려 비교적 시간이 더 여유로운 영미권 출신들이 연락도 자주 안하는 모습이 본토 한국인에겐 성의없어 보이긴 하죠.
한국인은 본토에서 그시기 지나면 그렇게 집중적으로 달달하고 꽉찬 연애를 하기 힘들어 지니까...
아, 그리고 한국식 연애가 드라마 작가들의 세뇌 덕에 변질된 점도 크다고 저는 봅니다.
한국남자를 사귀어 본 일본여자분들 얘기 들어보시면 알거예요
정말 드라마처럼 챙겨주더라 라는 말들.
물론 "초반에는 그러다가 결국 변하더라"로 끝나지만 ㅋㅋ
실제 연애, 실제 인생은 16회로 끝나지 않고 출연료도 없으니까 그런가봐요 ^0^
When you visited NYC recently, did you feel like you blended in? There is so much diversity that most people probably thought you were American.
I don’t think people thought I was American 😅 but NY is such a melting pot, I would say even more than London is!
I love this video ❤
Want to see more of this videos?!
7:36 as a black person born in the UK who has a mixed group of friends I still feel out of place in all white cities/towns. I don't mind all white spaces in London, but if the whole city is overwhelmingly white it can be uncomfortable for a bit.
Could you do a prt. 2
Interesting. I’m American. I grew up abroad until I was about 15 years old. When we moved back to America I felt lost. Definitely noticed the racial divide.
Good video! But a bit worried about the part 'share everything btw couples'. This is so rare thing even in Korea and I'm over 40 and have never accepted or done going through sns and texts with my ex in the past. So please don't generate and excuse that this is the common couple thing in Korea 'cause it is obviously not. Most normal Koreans feel very offensive on this attitude. Ciao!
Anna love u so much
Zweiundneunzig Jahre alt ? Oder von '92 ? I excpect the last !
I think it's neunundzwanzig 29 years old
@@brbapappa That is also a possibility 😁
Haha i feel you mang. Hard 2 live as immigrant kids. I am glad born in Malaysia is the different beast. We Chinese close 2 the majority race like brothers 4 life. Hahahaha.
U started living in uk away from ur parents at the age of seven!? Mind asking how that happened?
❤🇰🇷
지윤씨, 언제 한번 바이올린 연주 해주세요
보고 싶어요 ㅎㅎ
애나 누나 꼭 행복해야해
You'll never experienced racism in UK but in Korea...YES...if you're dark-skinned Southeast Asian.
Oh sweet summer child
나이따
영어를 넘잘하셔
I can relate so much. I’m ethnically korean but was born in america and have lived in west africa since I was 5 years old. there are definitely a lot of cultural identity issues that come w being a tck 🥲 but it’s also such an incredible life that I wouldn’t give up for the world
Oh yeah. The No culture Identity is real. My own people deny me until I speak the language. But can I ask did you guys find it hard to connect with people and find it easy to say goodbye to people?
The difference between rich tck and poor tck 😬…
more uncle roger !!!
쿠텐타크
I'm hit
You tried to stay in touch with Korean culture by following k-pop? But k-pop is not Korean culture. It is an appropriation of American culture.
Meintest du neunundzwanzig? 29 ? 😍
does normal average korean has inferiority complex communicating with you?
Hullloooo Anna just wanna quickly say (becus it's very late where i'm from & i really shud be in bed haha) are u aware there is another Anna Lee also a Korean and a gifted violinist? When i started flwg u in the initial stages, i got really crazy confused btwn u 2, i was so convinced she was u becus there is a passing resemblance & like how cud there possibly be another young Korean lady with the same name playing the violin.. 😂en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Lee_(violinist)
omg they have the same/similar korean names too
Yes I get this a lot 😅 it’s a complete coincidence but no, we’re not the same person haha
