This video highlights cultural adaptation of a Philippine family in America… and how to pronounce a very common swear word.

…Something we have all been through when traveling or living in different countries.

And of course, it reminds us of the deep personal challenges you have to make when adapting to different cultures.

I remember how I was when I first came to Europe. I had no clue about the extent of personal involvement it takes to adapt to a new country.
