The second episode of ‘Go Go Nihongo!’ featured two graduates of the Japanese Studies at the University of New South Wales. While AI making interpretation and translation more accessible, we heard about the significance and enjoyment of learning Japanese through their own efforts and experiences.


We spoke to Sally Chan who now teaches Japanese at the University of Melbourne, and Riki Walmsley, who works as a data analyst for an Australian television network.
