It’s beautiful and peaceful here, and we’re enjoying fellowship with some special Colorado relatives and friends. Phonemics and Grammar (!!) We are spending this time here so that I can do my linguistic […]

We are all spilling the bowl of milk.

…and other such silly sentences that we would (hopefully) never say. 🙂 But the title of this blog entry is an actual sentence we learned in Cherokee. Why?! We have spent a good portion of our language sessions learning verbs (yes, action words). We learned the verb “spill”. Except there is no way to say […]

"Oh-see-yoh" from Oklahoma!

August 23, 2013

Now you have learned how to say “hello” in the Cherokee language! How to write it? Different story. 🙂 We didn’t write as many blogs about our road trip from Seattle to Oklahoma, mostly because we planned to surprise visit some friends in Missouri as a little fun detour before heading down to OK.

Many Much Moosen

Grammar. Is. Important. It matters the way words are constructed. Like the example below: It also matters the way sentences are put together and what order the words are placed, such as the examples below: “Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope.” “Two Sisters […]

dʒit?

March 1, 2013

I did, and it was delicious! Did you understand the question in the subject line? It is amazing to consider the often ‘quirky’ spelling and speaking of our language, including our slang terms, such as the way we say: “dʒit” “instead of ‘did you eat’. The Linguistics course consists roughly of 2 main ‘elements’: Phonemics […]

Linguistics Crash Course!

Linguistics Crash Course!

January 30, 2013

Enjoy a laugh from this short clip from Singin’ in the Rain: Now imagine we have recently moved in among a people group and we are learning language. We have just observed these two ladies saying what seem to be the same words, but using different sounds to say them (they each said their “t” […]

Connection Lost?

Connection Lost?

November 5, 2012

Imagine hanging up the phone like this: “Good bye! I’ll talk to you again in a few months.”  We had a mini 2-week ‘taste’ of this:  Practical Skills/Simple Living class, during which we cut ourselves off from modern conveniences . Making flour tortillas with daddy We practiced ‘supply buying’- ordering our food for the next […]
