What does it mean to speak Googaburra?
In this powerful new webinar, Aboriginal Elder and cultural educator Aunty Munya Andrews invites you into the world of Aboriginal languages - not just as words, but as ways of seeing, being, and belonging.
Based on her upcoming book Can You Speak Googaburra?, this session is part language lesson, part cultural deep-dive, and part soul journey.
With warmth, humour and wisdom, Aunty Munya will guide you through the hidden logic and living spirit of First Nations languages - including not only spoken dialects, but the languages of space, kinship, silence, and movement.
What you’ll experience:
- The truth about “Aboriginal language” (hint: there’s no such thing!)
- How pronunciation is a form of respect
- The cultural meaning behind words like “Googaburra”
- Why learning even one Aboriginal word is a radical act of Reconciliation
- Live Q&A with Aunty Munya
There’s no shame, blame or judgement - just an open, welcoming space to listen, learn, and connect. Whether you're a teacher, student, parent, professional or passionate Ally, this session will shift how you see language, culture, and Country.
“A linguistic adventure, full of smacks and hugs and good knowledge if you’re ready to listen.”
— Tyson Yunkaporta, Author of Sand Talk
