EXPO2025 OSAKA, KANSAI, JAPAN is taking place this year. To enjoy the event fully, let's take this opportunity to learn Osaka dialect from an Osaka-ben native speaker Kate Onomichi from SBS Japanese Melbourne team!

The key phrase for the third episode is ‘Shaanai’. This could be a magic word when you'd like to move on after failure.

This section is broadcast and distributed two to three times a month during the Expo period (April-October).
