Distant Relatives The Podcast

After living for quite some time in Australia and Japan, we reflect on our lives abroad. We talk about the things we love, and the things we don't really love. We learn of the similarities and differences between our individual experiences that contribute to how we feel, as we compare it to our lives back in the Philippines. 

Join us as we enumerate the ways we like and dislike our lives abroad!

Have you ever experienced a language barrier using the same language?

It might be a cause of surprise for some, but English isn’t always the same in each country.

As different as you can expect it to be in Japan, it is also differently used in Australia.

In this episode, we quiz each other on the different usage of “English” words, our stories with language barriers, and an introduction to Japanese vagueness or Aimai. We reflect on our struggles, and how we should see the beauty in diversity, and that we all have a long way to go as students in Life. 

New episodes are uploaded on Wednesday!
