LINGUALIST.BN


"Memupuk jati diri dengan mempelajari dialek kitani"

Lingualist.bn motto  

Lingualist.bn is founded by 7 students studying for their masters at University Brunei Darussalam this August. The 7 founders pondered what to do as they await for their Masters to finish, they decided to make a Teaching program specifically on teaching Bruneians about their own native language. 

They saw the effects of globalization has on Bruneians especially the youths, fearing that Brunei's local language might someday become extinct. Additionally given that this is the digital age where the internet plays a crucial roles in our lives, the founders of lingualist.bn also saw it as a threat as the lingua franca of the internet is english. With these reason, lingualist.bn was created to preserve and even strengthen the native languages of Brunei. 

Their teachers comprises of locals who can speak the language fluently. They subjects that can teach for now is Dusun taught by Suria Asyura, Bisaya taught by Allan Kujor and Tutong dialect taught by Reen Ahmad.




They mainly conduct the lessons online as the lockdown prevents any face-to-face session using only Zoom. Even after the lockdown has rescinded, they still plan to stay online until they can get enough marketing to afford a physical tuition. 


Their lessons are open to public, anyone can learn regardless of your age. And for those who wish to preserve Brunei's languages are especially encouraged. Any further questions about Lingualist, you can check them out at the Instagram at lingualist.bn.
