Hello everyone, my name is Au Yeung Ching Man, and my English name is Albert. 

大家好，我叫歐陽靖民，英文名係 Albert。我同我嘅太太同大仔約五年前黎到愛爾蘭，女兒喺愛爾蘭出世。當初係因為喺愛爾蘭呢邊搵到工作，所以決定一家人搬嚟。

Hello everyone, I’m Kiki. I’ve been in Ireland for almost four years now. Since last year, I’ve become a mother. My husband and I have gone from living as a couple to building a family together and taking care of our baby—it’s been a completely different life.

大家好，我係Kiki，嚟咗愛爾蘭就嚟四年啦，由上年開始，我已經變咗媽媽，同老公喺愛爾蘭一齊由二人世界既生活，到而家組織家庭合力照顧BB，生活真係完全唔同晒。

Our Volunteers 我哋嘅義工: Grace

I am a linguist specializing in speech, forensic phonetics and trilingualism. Growing up in Cantonese culture, Cantonese identity has always been one of my most important identities.

Hello，我係 Grace，我係一位喺大學教書嘅語言學家。嚟愛爾蘭之前，我喺香港做開關於粵語、普通話同埋英文呢三種語言之間點樣互相影響嘅研究。嚟到愛爾蘭之後，我都希望有機會可以繼續做多啲同粵語相關嘅研究。

我喺一個充滿粵語文化嘅環境下長大，由細到大都係睇 TVB 劇集、聽廣東歌、飲茶，仲好鍾意食燒味同煲仔飯。「粵語人」呢個身份，係我咁多個身份之中嘅一個好重要嘅身份認同。佢唔單止影響住我對公共事務嘅參與，仲深深影響我嘅研究、我嘅思考方式，以及我同人之間嘅連結。

In this issue, we would like to introduce you to our volunteer Angela!
