Episode 63 is a welcoming return with plenty of engaging content!

We kick things off with a friendly Ohisashiburi and Gobusata to mark our March reunion after some time away. With a bit of catching up, I share how things have been hectic but overall manageable.

Today’s spotlight is on kanji radicals (bushu), exploring how these essential components can simplify learning and memorization of Japanese characters—practical tips for language learners!

We also dive into the key differences between Australian and Japanese healthcare systems, particularly regarding specialists—a fascinating comparison for those navigating medical care abroad.

For book enthusiasts, we return to our chapter reviews of Bilingual Life & Reality. In Chapter 7, we explore accents in bilinguals, offering insightful perspectives on how bilingualism affects pronunciation and communication.

Finally, as tradition calls, we wrap up with our ever-popular "Word of the Day" segment, tied neatly to one of today’s topics—because that’s what we do!

It’s a warm, informative, and engaging episode to ease back into the podcast groove.
