A fantastic collection of first nation words that are helpful for learning an ancient and disappearing language. An easy to use app with great pronunciation. Perhaps the phonetic spelling would be helpful, and very interesting as it would be so different and also similar to the white Australian accent. I'd happily pay for that as a purchase feature of I had the option 😉 Keep up the great work team!!!

I am so so happy this app exists! I am a Wiradjuri woman still making my way home to culture and connectedness and this is a beautiful way for me to revive what was suffocated in my ancestors. I am duty-bound to relearn language and do my part in keeping our mob's culture alive and healthy. This makes it so much more accessible and I can't thank you enough! Mandaang guwu! 🖤❤️💛👍🏽

Learning this language has helped me feel closer to my grandmother even though she's been gone so long. I wish I knew more of my history but she passed when I was 5 and my parents dont talk about anything. "You're white now. You don't need it." Thank you for this app!
