Testimonials from July 2020 Participants
The Indonesian class was great fun we learnt how to act and make puppets that tell stories about being a good person and good lessons like never trick people and telling the truth.
Oliver Hennig
I like LANGUAGES ALIVE because I learn about languages that I don’t know about. I like the smaller groups. I inked the Korean game with feathers where we through them into cities on a Korean map like Seoul.

I liked making Indonesian puppets. They are used for shows and they make shadows.
Ángel Korat
We really liked LANGUAGES ALIVE German because it was fun and I learnt how to count in German and I created a Shatutta which is a special present that all children get on their first day of school filled with stationery and lollies. We also learnt that hello is nearly the same as in English but instead of He it’s Ha.

I thought the Auslan class was amazing. I learnt a lot, mostly the animals and some alphabet. I specifically enjoyed learning about the people who are deaf and learning how they communicate.

The Auslan class was very enjoyable and we learnt lots of new things including our names and animals. It was all so much fun!
