Former soccer player Robbie Gaspar once played professionally in Indonesia. Now in Australia, he runs a soccer clinic while introducing the Indonesian language to young players.
Through training sessions, Robbie Gaspar works with children from the Indonesian diaspora, migrant families, and local Australians, using sport as an entry point to language and culture.
Reporter Natasya Salim meets him on the field and speaks to one of his students who is learning Indonesian through the clinic.
