This
site is designed so that you can learn to read, write and speak Ojibwemowin.
Most web sites and materials seem to give vocabulary, specific questions
or sentences, and then narrow answers which are limited in their application.
Or, they are complicated grammar sheets which, though well-intended,
tend to present too much information at one time with no practice within
the lesson. It is the intent of this site to teach the student vocabulary,
grammar, and syntax in a specific fashion, so that s/he may construct
sentences as needed in varying situations. Each of the buttons that
you see represent a different lesson. The first five lessons are introductory
in nature and begin with some background information that is essential
in learning the language. As you progress, the lessons become more difficult
and are designed as a hierarchy - each subsequent lesson building upon
the previous.
