Growing up Bilingual in Australia is a podcast series that follows the lives and experiences of young families and their heritage language within Australia’s monolingual mindset.

What the community is saying

ViệtSpeak was formed in late 2020 after the closure of the Vietnamese bilingual program at Footscray Primary School. Learn more about the community campaign.

Why bilingual education?

A bilingual school teaches the curriculum in two languages.

Looking for books to read with your kids? We have compiled a selection of titles as well as where to buy them.

We welcome any extra support from the community. If you have skills or proposals we’d love to hear from you. You can also make a donation to support the cause! See below for ways to help.

Acknowledgement of country and Indigenous languages

We acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung language groups of the Kulin Nation, their Ancestors, Elders, families and communities who are the Traditional Custodians of the greater Melbourne, Werribee and the Mornington Peninsula areas. We acknowledge language revitalisation and practices are integral to culture, recognition and reconciliation.

Chùng tôi công nhận nhòm ngôn ngữ Boon Wurrung vá Woi Wurrung của Dân tộc Kulin, tổ tiên của họ, càc tộc trưởng, gia đính vá cộng đồng thổ dân. Họ lá người giữ gín lãnh địa truyền thống của Vúng đất Melbourne vá ngoại vi, Werribee vá bàn đảo Mornington. Chùng tôi công nhận sự hồi sinh của ngôn ngữ vá xử dụng ngôn ngữ đi liền với văn hoà, công nhận vá hóa giải.
