I read your post as well as Ingrid’s. Glad that you have a chance to participate in a project like this and work with other researchers. Thank you for sharing your experience!
During my life in Australia, I sometimes get help from language brokers. However, the one who help me is not a child but an adult. I was not familiar to Australia culture, but my homestay host taught me a lot. The host, is a lady from Hongkong and lived here for more than 30 years. When we communicate, we usually use English. I think for most people, its common that have an adult as a language/ culture broker. Idea of CLB project is an innovation.
