Paano gamitin
Bago ka magtanong
Madalas, ang usapan natin ng magulang ay tungkol sa atin: kumain ka na ba, kumusta ang trabaho, kailan ka uuwi. Bihira nating itanong ang tungkol sa kanila. Pero may mga kuwento sila na tayo lang ang puwedeng magtago, kung itatanong natin.
Magsimula sa pagkain at sa bahay, kasi madaling sagutin. Saka itanong ang tungkol sa pagkabata nila at sa mga taong nagturo sa kanila. Huwag madaliin. Kung magkuwento si Papa nang mahaba, hayaan siya. If you grew up abroad and your Tagalog is rusty, ask in English; every card has both.
Bagay sa
Mga tip
- Isang tanong lang kada kain. Mas maganda ang isang buong kuwento.
- I-record ang sagot, kung papayag sila. Madaling makalimutan ang mga detalye.
- Sagutin mo rin ang tanong. Gusto rin nilang malaman ang sa’yo.
- Iwasan muna ang mga mabibigat na usapin sa unang tanong.

Tanong para sa magulang
Mga madalas itanong
Ano ang magandang itanong sa magulang?
Tanungin sila tungkol sa pagkabata nila, sa pagkaing nagpapaalala ng bahay, at sa taong nagturo sa kanila ng mahalagang bagay. Maliliit at tiyak na tanong ang nagbubukas ng mahahabang kuwento.
Paano magsimula ng malalim na usapan kay Mama o Papa?
Magsimula sa magaan habang kumakain, tapos itanong ang isang kuwento mula sa pagkabata nila. Kapag nagkukuwento na sila, makinig lang at magtanong ng “tapos?”.
May English ba ang mga tanong?
Oo. Bawat tanong ay may English at Filipino sa iisang card, kaya bagay din sa mga anak na lumaki sa abroad.
