Welcome! 

I Speak Engrish! is a podcast about travel and culture. 

The title is simply because many people assume we don't speak English on the single basis that we look Asian. Well, we are, but not really at the same time. With years of people making fun of Asian accents, we're taking it back for us, and spitting it back in your face. And while we acknowledge that not all Asian accents sound the same, did you know we're not all Chinese?, this has been the accent most associated with the Asian American community we grew up in. Accents are associated with our culture, so let's celebrate it! 

This podcast will primarily focus on our travel stories. 

Since we are Asian Americans, however, it has affected our experiences abroad and especially at home, in the US. We wanted to debut this podcast in May, which conveniently happens to be AAPI, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. AsAm empowerment, WHAT!?

Get to know more about us in Episode 1 and if you want, follow us on Instagram, @lillytalksalot and @whatsupanton. <<< We changed our handles.
