Listening is one of the four fundamental skills of language learning. Tuning the ear to native stress and intonation patterns facilitates comprehension and translates into accent reduction. Video is one of the best mediums to simulate a realistic immersion experience. Cross-sensory integration enhances connections between new vocabulary and diverse locals throughout the brain.Ā Increasedā¦

Greetings in Native Languages of Central and South America (note: the two phrases forĀ āwhatās your nameāĀ in Guarani translate toĀ āwhatās your first nameā andĀ āwhatās your surnameā, respectively)
(Spelling and/or full phrases may differ in varying dialects)
Canadian aboriginal syllabaries
Created by an English missionary in 1827:Ā https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Aboriginal_syllabics. It is used to write a variety of indigenous languages, among which Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut.
It is an abugida type of syllabary.Ā
Also, Mikmaq had a series of logograms used as mnemonic aid.
STOP SAYING NICAN TLACA
Nican Tlaca doesnāt mean what many people who wish to find decolonized identity think it meansā¦in any modern varient of NĆ”huatl none of the speakers will fully understand what it is youāre trying to say since nican tlaca literally just means āman hereā they would look at you like you either need to go on about that man here or likeā¦what about him? The correct way to say indigenous person in the Huastecan variant is
āmacehualliā mass-eh-wall-ee
macehualli = indigenous person
Nimacehualli.= Iām an indigenous person.
Timacehualli.= You are an indigenous person.
Macehualli.= She/He is an indigenous person.
Timacehualmeh.=We are indigenous people.
Inmacehualmeh.= Yawl are indigenous people.
Macehualmeh.= They are indigenous people.
Lets begin to actually bring our first langauge Nahuatl speaking family into the conversation of identity and make more use of the language as they use it not for our own personal gains.

In Cree, we donāt say āDecemberā we say āpawÄcakinasÄ«siā which translates to āItās the time when the animals are scraping through the snow and the ice, clearing the snow off the treesā or basically āfrost exploding treesā, and I think thatās much more fitting for Canadian winters.

Tutors are extremely helpful for working out tough grammar points or mastering the nuances of pronunciation. Laymen simply lack the depth of knowledge to explain these concepts coherently to help you past your personal pain points. Professional tutors or classes can also be a crucial source of structure, discipline, accountability and motivation. Exchange partners can be extremely inefficientā¦

When I studied geography in school, the only languages on the continent presented to us were the colonial languages. If we want to build bridges, reduce conflicts and decolonize, the true cultures of the land must be known and acknowledged. While the history is somewhat tarnished, the existing colonial languages can serve as bridges between cultures. For example, you will find more tools to learnā¦
