Spread The Word

With over 500,000 words you’d think the English language has a word for everything. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find it doesn’t.

Each episode features an Indigenous community member sharing a word from one of over 300 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. The words describe a unique situation for which there is no correlating English word.
