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.
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.
These are some common topics you can talk to me about:
Feel free to ask me questions like:
'Hey Colo, how are you today?'
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.
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?'
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'
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.
