Take the chance to express yourself. Doesn’t practise make you perfect?

The National Australia Indonesia Language Awards (NAILA) is a very inclusive speaking competition that is open to participants across a range of categories. The themes are always interesting and encourage creativity. This year’s theme is “Health.”

The impact of COVID-19 has set challenges for organisers and participants in NAILA 2020.  However, NAILA has always been very innovative. Sheila Hie, the co-director of NAILA explains how NAILA has adapted to current circumstances. The deadline to register is 14th September 2020, so there’s plenty of time to get involved, express yourself in Indonesian and maybe win.
