Are British Asians losing their mother tongue?
Are British Asians losing their mother tongue? Pria Rai and guests discuss if prioritising English is erasing our native language and culture.
On this episode, we're speaking YOUR language! Pakistani actress Saba Hamid set social media on fire when she said, 'Speak your native language to your children or watch it die within the next 20 years.' But is she right? Have British Asians been putting English first and leaving their mother tongue behind?
Pria Rai dives deep into this with Sharan Raju, host of 'Too British to be Asian,' Asma Khanum, CEO of Chatterbug Speech and Language Therapy, the always-hilarious Parle Patel, and TikTok star Selena Makin. Get ready for emotional revelations, laughs, hot takes, and real talk about identity, language, and why it all matters. You won't want to miss it!
