ELBIda Talks: Conquering Language Hurdles in an Array of Cultures

Imagine speaking a certain language your entire life and then finding yourself compelled to live in a community whose language is far apart from your native tongue and whose culture is significantly different from yours. Will you be thrilled? Anxious? Join Jyn and Precious as they listen to Noel's conversation with Jesse, a Bisaya speaker who moved to Los Baños, a Tagalog-speaking community, as a UPLB student for years. Reflect on the what, why, and how of overcoming the language barrier brought on by cultural disparities. Lord Jessie Huyo-a is a Bisaya speaker from the beautiful city of Cebu. He's an incredible artist and has been pursuing his passion for the past ten years. Despite the challenges that come with being from a different place, Jessie managed to overcome these challenges and has been an active member of various student organizations at UPLB.
