Yá’át’ééh, Sekoh, Halauġikpiñ, Chokma, Boozhoo, Tim,

Language is more than communication – it embodies culture, history, and identity. In this newsletter, we delve into how language revitalization nurtures emotional well-being and fortifies community bonds.

This edition of WHAT ARE LANGUAGES 4? Focuses on arguably the best of Indigenous language reclamation, the immense Joy, pleasure, and mental health benefits for the community. We highlight the inspiring story of the Barngarla language revival in South Australia and present a sampling of the culturally-tailored activities integrated into our language projects at Languages 4.

The journey to language proficiency can be challenging, but by intertwining linguistic lessons with cultural elements, we aim to enrich the learning experience while promoting mental health and community connections.

Thank you for engaging with our mission.

Founder's Corner | A Message From Tim O'Hagan

Dear Readers,

As the founder of Languages 4, I am continually amazed and inspired by the power of language. Language is not simply a tool for communication; it is a vessel for culture, history, community, and identity. Each word tells a story, each phrase brings to life a tradition, and each sentence weaves the tapestry of a community's rich heritage.

I am excited about this edition because it focuses on the WHY of language reclamation. The HOW is very important, and we often spend so much of our time and efforts there, so it is a great pleasure to explore the joy, happiness, and overall wellness of it.

Thank you once again for your support and partnership. Here's to the transformative power of language!
