EP 110: Chinwag
Episode description
In most episodes, we have a bit of a chinwag. But in this episode, it is the guest's specialty. Michellle is a proud first generation latina who excels at organising events for, and promoting the latin community.
In this episode, we have a chinwag about her experiences growing up in Australia as first gen, and the challenges she has faced as being from "neither here nor there".
We also look at a process, or grammar rule, called ablaut reduplication, of which chinwag is an example, as are many other australian expressions and items.
We talk about the importance of having a chinwag when arriving in Australia to limit culture shock, and the things that, in particular, latin women find different when arriving in Australia.
