Episode Synopsis


Hilda Wayne talks to experts and Pacific women about why we often don’t pass on our mother tongue to our kids when English, Tok Pisin, Bislama and other dominant languages are required for education and work. Is there a future for our many rich and unique Pacific languages? Or will they slowly die out?
