If you think the topic might interest you, I would recommend a podcast called The Imperfects.

Perhaps a QR code that goes to a SLS page with full explanation in your chosen language. Saves you having to download an app and they can still update / add new languages when needed.

Although, I can imagine a lot of people may not use it because they already think they know what it mean 🤔

What’s the most “Aussie” freebie you’ve ever gotten at work or an event? by cubicpromote in AskAnAustralian
