This week marks the 10th anniversary of the Dieri Language Blog: Ngayana Diyari Yawarra Yathayilha ‘We are all speaking Dieri now’. The first posts went live on 15th February 2013, and there have been another 96 since then. Over the years, we have had 21,000 visitors to the site, resulting in over 39,000 views. Since 2020, page views have totalled over 6,000 each year. We are very pleased to see the interest in the Dieri language, and look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.
We have recently started a new project connected to the blog which is a series of podcasts where you can hear the content of blog posts, including the pronunciation of Dieri words. If you are keen to learn to hear and speak some Dieri and you do not have access to a speaker of the language, then these podcasts might be a way for you to start learning words and expressions. The podcasts are free to listen to on Anchor or Spotify, and we will be gradually adding to them over the coming months and years. You can read along with the podcast by opening the relevant blog post page. Here is a list of the podcasts and the related blog post.
| Title | Podcast | Blog post | |

| Wardaru yini? | How are you? | link | link |
| Pirra ya pityi | Bark and coolamon | link | link |

If you can, please provide us with feedback in the comments section below about your experiences with the podcasts as this will help us to develop and improve them in future.
