Dina’s visit to University Dhyana Pura, Bali

Dina has spent an excellent day with the colleagues and students at Universitas Dhyana Pura. She gave a guest lecture and then asked a student what she found the most interesting about her lecture. The student said: ‘That our mother tongue matters as other languages we use. Nobody ever told us before that our mother tongue is important. Thank you for that. My parents did not teach me Balinese. I’m now learning it from my friend.’

Dina is grateful for an amazing welcome and insights gained. Healthy Linguistic Diet is very well received and appreciated here for its evident relevance.
