A talk between India & China

我的印度朋友 Moni 在印度北部长大，15年前移民来到美国。性格开朗的她受过良好的教育，也一直热爱语言和文化交流。

我们最初认识，是因为她和丈夫决定一起学习中文，而我恰好成为了他们的中文老师。没想到从老师和学生开始，我们后来慢慢成了无话不谈的好朋友。

在今天的播客对话里，我们聊到了印度的语言和教育，Moni 的成长背景，以及来到美国生活这些年她的经历和感受。通过 Moni 的分享，我们也得以从一个普通印度人的视角，更近距离地了解这个文化丰富又多元的国家。

希望大家喜欢今天的节目。

My Indian friend Moni was born and raised in northern India and moved to the United States 15 years ago. Warm, outgoing, and well-educated, she has always had a great love for languages and cultural exchange.

We first met when Moni and her husband decided to learn Chinese, and I became their Chinese teacher. Over time, our teacher-student relationship grew into a wonderful friendship, and we became friends who could talk about almost anything.

In today’s conversation, we talk about languages and education in India, Moni’s upbringing, and her experiences and feelings about living in the United States. Through Moni’s stories, we also get a closer look at India through the eyes of someone who grew up there.

I hope you enjoy today’s conversation.
