A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM
Dear Anna,
I was born and grew up in the United States, but my mother is from China. Her parents moved here only a few years ago, so they never really learned to speak English. I, on the other hand, understand very little Chinese, and speak it even less. This meansthat I have a serious communication problem with my grandparents. I say hello and goodbye to them, and ask them how they’re doing, but I have no way of telling them about my friends, hobbies, and interests. I would love to have a closer relationship* with my grandparents, but how can I do that when I need my mother to translate* every sentence of every conversation* we have?
I really hope that you can give me some good advice about my problem.
Lee from San Francisco
------
Dear Lee,
I’ve lived in the United States my whole life, but my grandparents are also from a different country (Mexico). Fortunately*, my parents always spoke Spanish at home sothat we would be able to communicate with our Mexican relatives*. It’s a shame* that your mother didn’t do the same….
It’s clear that at their age, your grandparents are not going to start learning English. Therefore, if you really want a closer relationship with them, it would be
a good idea for you to start learning Chinese. Just open up the phonebook and look for languageschools that teach Chinese conversations for beginners- I’m sure that there are many such schools in San Francisco. Once you begin, you may be surprised by how easy it is for you to suddenly understand whole sentences in Chinese.
Best of luck,
Anna

*relationship: علاقة* translate: يترجم*conversation: محادثة

*fortunately: لحسن الحظ*relatives: أقارب* it’s a shame: يا للخسارة
