In this episode of Culture In Between, Angelica tells us all about how she adapted to life in the U.S. after moving to Miami from Indonesia with her family at ten years old. She talks about why she always found it hard to speak up in class as a student in America, shares the Indonesian saying that her father uses whenever she hasn’t called him for a few days, and explains the benefits of being trilingual.
