    Maya’s pronounciation is a little off, but I really appreciate the effort :)

    I was wondering if it was gonna be off — ok ok well at least she tried.

  3. Eugenia Beh Says:

    It is the thought that counts. :)

  4. abenamer Says:

    Agreed — the Tagalog one will be a hit with my mom.

  5. Eugenia Beh Says:

    How is it? Her Tagalog, I mean. :)

  6. abenamer Says:

    It’s not bad — I figure her Malay skills help her…

    wait, i don’t understand.. what did she say about the hmong community?? did i miss it?? i don’t know.. it seems like she’s reading off a script in front of her.. but i guess, she’s trying, right??

  8. Eugenia Beh Says:

    Hi Susan - Her first line is said in Hmong. It’s part of a series of videos addressed to the AAPI community - there’s one where she speaks in Chinese to the Chinese American community, one in Tagalog and this one in Hmong.
