Ciao, talofa, hello! Welcome to Mother Tongue - a children’s podcast celebrating the many wonderful languages spoken by families right across Australia! Learn to say hello in Cantonese, goodbye in Koori, sing a song in Greek, or learn all about the Lebanese flag.

Mother Tongue host, Sirine says; “The idea for this show came from my experience with my daughter; the songs my mother sang to me as a child stayed with me and I sang them to her when she was born.

Elyssa is now 4 years old, and still loves these songs – she’ll never forget where they came from and we should never lose this connection with our language of origin.” Sharing language and culture brings kids closer together and sparks curiosity about the world so subscribe now and enjoy!
