Last November we shared an episode about the important link between language and culture. Today, we’re continuing that conversation with two stories from the CBAA National Features and Documentary Series. Never Gonna Let The Language Go Away by MJ Bakewell
What does ‘justice’ even mean if no one speaks your language? There are over 17 Aboriginal languages spoken in and around Mparntwe Alice Springs – but there’s only been an Aboriginal interpreter service since the year 2000. MJ Bakewell looks to the past, and one Yankuntyjatjara man’s legacy, to see how far we’ve come to ensure Aboriginal language speakers have the right to understand, and be understood.Music: Trail runner by Blue Dot Sessions, Algorithms by Chad Crouch, Passed Tense by Anne van Schothorst, Low Coal Camper by Blue Dot Sessions, 4th Chair by Blue Dot Sessions.

They say that to speak a language is to take on a world, but for people from different cultural backgrounds living in Western spaces it’s easier said than done. Bernadette Nguyen speaks to her mother, a young Korean migrant, and a Wiradjuri woman, to find out how much of the world multilingual people can take on in My Mother Tongue.Music by Jerome Blazé and Gemma Navarrete
