In this episode, we talk to Reka, an Australian teacher in Japan who is a chip off the old block. She is the daughter of Hungarian parents and is now a world traveller in her own right - a real chip off the old block.

In her journeys, she recalls relearning her heritage language, a generation out of step and the challenges that it brought.

She shares her experiences learning a new character language and tips and tricks for doing so. We also talk about visualisation and how this can help learners coming from a different alphabet, or any learners in general.

And one thing that is difficult for English learners (and all English speakers)  to understand is the many ways we use chips. We talk about the various meanings of these and other useful expressions with chips.

So put all your chips on the table, the chips are not down, to come and learn why you might or might not be a chip off the old block.
