Bangii’eta Anishinaabemodaa
Let’s speak a little Ojibwe
We are learning commands today that have everyday use.
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.
