My language is Yorta Yorta which was and is spoken by the majority of the clan groups within the Yorta Yorta Nation.
It was in 2013 that I was first really exposed to Yorta Yorta language. I was 24 at the time.
I had only grown up with a few Yorta Yorta words until I started working as a language support worker in a local primary school that had just introduced a Yorta Yorta language program.
I had no teaching experience before I started teaching. I was only a few steps in front of the kids with my own language learning.
