He Moved to Rural Rajasthan to Teach English | Ep 8 S3 Chinwag Tuesdays

In this episode of Chinwag Tuesdays, Amanda sits down with Joe, the Sydney-based creator behind Joe Speaks Hindi. Joe has been learning Hindi for 27 years, spent a year living in a remote village in Rajasthan teaching English, and recently went viral on Instagram after being interviewed by CNN News18.

Joe and Amanda talk about what it actually feels like to learn a language for decades, why an accent is something to be proud of, and why there is no such thing as speaking "full English." They also cover the universal experience of making friends as a migrant, what makes someone genuinely good at learning something new, and the misconceptions people have about Australian culture and about going viral.
