Bangii’eta Anishinaabemodaa 

Let’s speak a little Ojibwe 

Why is it important to learn an informal greeting?

The objective is to learn Anishinaabe customs and etiquette on how to greet Elders, family, friends, community members and teachers.

The goal is to learn Anishinaabe through speaking with everyday conversations. Join Judy Doolittle as she mentors a group of second language speakers. They will share their successes and challenges with learning the language as they grow to be confident speakers. This podcast will allow people to follow along and learn by repetition and conversational skits. 

This episode we practiced doing more greetings and a phone skit.
