In this unique project, I developed an instructional story on an unconventional yet epic topic:

tackling the epic fly problem in Australia....

By utilizing the Arabana language to present strategies for fly management, this initiative aimed to preserve the language and tackle an ecological problem at the same time. The creative hands-on approach provided a meaningful and engaging way to interact with the language, making the learning process more enjoyable.

My pronunciation must be mangled like hell, but I tried my best. I invite fluent speakers to view any mistakes & imperfections as the physical constraint of a Turkic accent. The examination of those specific issues, always reveals deeper intel about my language and the language I'm interacting with. That's why I welcome the discussion. I would love to hear from you.
