This is a chance to boost your level in a way that would normally take months.

Origins and traditions of Día de Muertos
It's colourful. It's joyful. And yes, there are quite a few skeletons involved.
Día de Muertos is a celebration of life, memory and the people we carry with us — but many of its most recognisable symbols have stories stretching back centuries. Let's take a trip through time to uncover the meaning behind the marigolds, well dressed skeletons and everything else that make Día de Muertos so unforgettable.
Daniela's prize-winning short film!
Did you know that our wonderful teacher Daniela recently received a very special award? Her short film HOMESICK won the Best Documentary Award at the University of Melbourne. Through this project, Daniela explores language, identity, and the experience of creating a sense of home across different cultures.
