20210823 First Real Day day 001

Welcome to Language Madness. Today we will be studying eight different languages all in one day. The eight languages we will be studying are Mandarin, Yoruba, Indonesian, Wirajuri, !Xoo, Afrikaans, Burmese and Vietnamese.

We discovered that Amazon Prime videos of TumbleLeaf have the ability to translate and give audio and subtitles for the following languages: Deutsch (Dutch), English (English), Espanol (Spanish), Francais (French), Indonsia (Indonesian), Italiano (Italian), Nederland (Netherlands), Português (Portuguese), Türkçe (Turkish), Pусский (Russian), عربي (Arabic), हिंदी (Hindi), 简体中文(Mandarin Chinese Simplified), 繁体中文 (Cantonese Traditional Chinese), 日本 (Japanese), 한국인 (Korean).

After watching TumbleLeaf in multiple formats we were still confused about the difference between the Dutch and Netherlands languages.

We also explored the internet to find information on other languages. We found a website called WIKITONGUES which contains short videos of people speaking their Native tongue.

!Xoo Language had a reference from a guy names Traill who died in 2007

Yoruba language spoken in Nigeria has very enthusiatic teachers online

Wiradjuri language one of the many indigenous languages of Australia that suffered from colonization has a funny teacher.
