So on my last blog I introduced my learning project, which is that I am attempting to learn Dene words. Today I am sharing a picture of the word I chose to start with and that word is hello. I thought I would choose words that are most commonly used in every language and those are the gestures, numbers, and action words. I am still playing with the video, I think it is my laptop though giving me a hard time, if and when I figure it out I will post a video so you can also hear the word.
Hello = édlánët’ë
What a great project Leona! I hope you can tell us a story in Dene on the last class…or a Dene song?
During my internship they asked if I could speak Dene and Cree – I was always intrigued when people spoke that language, but I didn’t want to come off as rude or stare when they talked. It sounds so hard- good for you for trying something really different. I am curious to know, how are you learning your dene – is there a lot of resources for the language?
