Voices Across Borders ·

2025/11/14

今回のエピソードは、弟キュテとの会話から生まれた「子どもに多言語をどこまで求めるべき？」というテーマの振り返りです。ホームの言葉があることで、子どもは安心して“自分らしく”いられる。そして、言語の数よりも、文化を深く理解し、人とのつながりを築く力の方が、ずっと大切かもしれない。そんな視点から、アイデンティティ文化理解言語を学びたいと思うタイミングについてお話ししています。 AIが完璧に翻訳する未来では、「人や文化を理解する力」がより大きな価値を持つのではないでしょうか。 This episode looks back on a conversation with my brother, Kyutae, exploring the question: How much multilingual ability should we realistically expect from children? Having a “home language” gives children a sense of security and allows them to be ...

The summaries in Japanese and English will be posted next week. [KOR] 언어를 할 수 있다는 것은 곧 그 언어의 세계에 속한다는 뜻일까요? 실제로는, 언어를 안다고 해서 그 사회의 일원으로 살아갈 수 있는 것은 아닙니다. * 이번 에피...

English: In this episode, we explore how language shapes identity and belonging. Language is more than communication. It connects us to emotion and culture. Together with Kyutae Kim, we talk about raising multilingual children and the role of language in an AI-driven world.

Korean: 이번 에피소드에서는 언어가 정체성과 소속감을 어떻게 형성하는지에 대해 이야기합니다. 언어는 단순한 의사소통의 수단이 아니라, 감정과 문화를 이어주는 다리이기도 하죠. 김규태 씨와 함께 다언어 환경에서 자...
