About this episode
In this episode, we’re chatting with NSW-based Japanese & English teacher Kelly Harrison, the founder & director of Languages Roadshow.

Kelly tells us all about her journey and experience of learning Japanese and becoming a teacher, why she decided to start Languages Roadshow, the challenges that languages educators face across Australia in both metro and regional areas, and the impact that learning about language education and language development has had on her life professionally and personally.
