Who, What, Where?
Language learning resource – as seen at Puliima 2023!
About the resource
Who, What, Where? is a fun language learning tool for everyone to practise and teach Indigenous languages. This resource has been produced by both Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Cooperative and Living Languages.
Who, What, Where? uses picture cards and posters as prompts, so you don’t need to use English at all! These cards and posters are only the beginning, you can build on this resource by making your own with more pictures that show your people, country and interests.
Inspired by The International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL), highlighting the urgent need to support all Indigenous people in their efforts to revitalise and maintain their languages.
The vibrant artworks you see in this resource have been created by Dunghutti man, Frank Mcleod.
