The Assyrian language is striving to continue in households in Australia. With Diqlat Assyrian School teaching the language for over 35 years and educating future lawyers, doctors and interpreters a language surviving for thousands of years. Ms Alice George, Principal, tells us what the school is working on for 2022.
The recent lockdown and restrictions in Sydney caused all schools to move from the classroom to online learning. Diqlat Assyrian School quickly tailored its lessons to accommodate for the changes.
Ms Alice George tells us about the resources they are working on in a committee with three other Assyrian language schools in Sydney, which are accessible for everyone to use for class lessons.
Why do we need to learn the language? Ms George tells us the importance of continuing to learn and use the Assyrian language and the benefits of speaking your mother tongue.
