#45 PhD in Finland & Connection between Finland and Japan

This week, Jean sat down to chat with Karina, a PhD student of Applied Linguistics at the University of Jyväskylä. Originally from Japan, Karina began her upper secondary education in Australia.

Read on, or listen to episode 45, to learn more about Karina’s story.
