  166: Paris meets Southeast Asia with food entrepreneur Pearlyn Lee

  Jul 16, 202644 minS10

  10 years is almost an eternity in the restaurant world, and it’s a milestone that Pearl Lee reached with her business, The Hood. The Singaporean has run a Southeast Asian, in addition to a bánh mì sandwich and donut shop called Nonette across the street. I recently traveled with her through Singapore, a truly fascinating multiethnic and cultural melting pot, and I finally got to see firsthand how that plays out in its food. She joins me to talk about going from the corporate world to food, the hurdles she’s overcome in fulfilling her vision for the cafe, and educating diners about Southeast Asian flavors, particularly in Singapore, and why NOW Parisian diners are really latching on.

  164: On bilingualism and code-switching with Ariane Bernard

  Jun 18, 202650 minS10

  Next month marks six years, if you can believe it, since The New Parisienne was released. I’ve kept tabs on all the women I profiled and some have become dear friends. Among them: Ariane Bernard who, at the time of our first interview, was overseeing all things digital at Le Parisien newspaper. I distinctly remember the moment I met her. I heard her speak with the kind of cultural fluency and humor of someone reared in the United States. And yet, she wasn’t. I quickly learned she was perfectly bilingual but I also wanted to know how she accommodated the dualities of her identity. Today, she works for herself and goes between Paris and New York. We talk about her sequential bilingual journey, navigating two very different work cultures, and a few of her linguistic grievances. You’ll also hear which spots in Paris she returns to time and again. Want to learn French at your own pace with private or group classes online? Sign up for Lingoda .
