Webinar: Ngaju karna pina jarri wita-kari, wita-kari Warlpiri ’I am learning Warlpiri little by little’

In light of the International Year of Indigenous Languages, this webinar will focus on learning an Australian Indigenous language. Gretel Macdonald is a linguist working with Warlpiri educators in Warlpiri Schools located in the Central Desert region in the Northern Territory to support the teaching of language and culture within a bilingual model or an Indigenous Language and Culture program. Learning Warlpiri is imperative to success in the linguist role, with benefits including enhancing communication and understanding in the workplace and strengthening relationships with colleagues and community.
