For my birthday, my parents sent me an mp3 as a card. My dad is Japanese, my mom is Korean, and neither of them speak the other’s native language. Needless to say, I grew up speaking English to them both, and in turn they learned to speak and write more properly in english throughout the years because of me. However, a bit of the accents and grammatical errors are still there, and I thought they sounded really cute in this audio. Oh, and they are also devout Christians, which explains the part at the end.

    that is probably the cutest thing I have ever heard.
    so if they did not speak each other's languages, did they speak English to each other too when they met?

    That is the sweetest every! My parents would never record a message like that because they would consider it too “emotional.” You're very lucky.

     When you hear the purase prom dress they often think of some tattered, cheap prom dresses fabric held together with safety pins promoted as a prom dress gown. But some of the best prom dresses available are those only a few years old, such as the 2011 prom dresses or 2012 prom dress styles.

    I’m saving this to play on my own birthday, or at least until my parents quit ignoring me… but anyway, your parents are so Qute…

  • Shadowofthefox

    That made my morning. They sound like sweethearts. Your mom sounds like the type to hug a lot. Just her voice and the way she talks reminds me of a very beloved Malaysian couple who always make sure I’m taking good care of myself. Very awesome parents.
