1 Who is Colo?

Hi, I’m Colo the Koala! 🐨 I like studying Australian Aboriginal languages and culture. When I’m not learning, I'm' just eating 🍃 or sleeping. You can ask me to do a bunch of fun things like translate and quiz you! So come chat with me and I’ll try my best to answer your questions and learn more with you.

2 What can Colo do?

You can chat with me about a range of topics and I can perform translations between English and 18 Aboriginal Languages which are:
BarunggamButchullaDharumbalDuungidjawuGoorengGunggariKala-kawaw-yaKuku-yalanjiNggerikudiNggerrikwidhiTurubalWakka-wakkaWarrgamayYugambehYugarabulYuggeraYuwaalaraayYuwibara

At the moment, the only words I know are body parts. Here are just a few of words I know:
ArmBellyChinEarElbowEyesFaceHeartMouthTeethThumbTongueWrist

You can also ask me questions about basic aboriginal related Australian history, and I can quiz you on words that you’ve learnt throughout our conversation.

3 How can I use Colochat?

These are some common topics you can talk to me about:

Casual Conversation

Feel free to ask me questions like:

'Hey Colo, how are you today?'

Translations

I can translate body parts from a number of Aboriginal languages.

An example of how you can ask me to translate is:

'Can you translate the word arm?'

If you're not sure what languages I know you can just ask me with something like:

'What languages do you know Colo?'

I don't always know the translation in all 18 languages, so if I can't translate a word for you maybe try choosing a different language.

Quiz Me Colo

To help you learn I can quiz you on the Aboriginal languages I know.
The words will be on body parts.

An example of how you can ask me to quiz you is:

'Colo, can you quiz me on body parts in wakka-wakka?'

Tell me a joke

I can tell you super funny jokes! Well I think they are at least.🤣

You can ask for a joke with something like:

'Tell me a joke, Colo'

4 Can Colo Respond to All of My Questions?

Although I'll try my best to answer your questions and translate for you, I'm still learning. Please be patient with me! If I can't answer your question it might help if you try to rephrase it differently for me.
