How did you get it? Did you buy it?

Yes. I bought a copy from one of the links I posted in the Mohawk section of the Learning Resources thread.

How much is in one? Maybe two per week? I know that seems uselessly slow but I'm a bit stressed out and this is more like leisure time :para: (Other people watch movies, I make a list of indigenous languages from everywhere :lol: )

When I get really hooked to anything I discover, I'm totally committing, though.

And I'm ok with us going at different paces, if you find mine too slow. :P

Let's shoot for Lesson 1 by next week (7/31), how does that sound for you?

I'm up for it :D

My brain is a bit like "lets do Mohawk, but also Oneida is the most like that, but also Cayuga has resources, but also I should look at other groups so there's Wendat and Tuscarora..."

Aw man! Now y'all are doing Mohawk! Well, at least I have the teaching grammar, too.

Dunno whether I'll manage to do chapter one in two days though. :para:

I'm still focusing on Seneca, so don't sorry about that.

I haven't actually done anything yet because of the foster kittens and moving :? But I found three videos about pronunciation and so on in youtube.

And I've been meaning to upload the audio to the Mohawk Teaching Grammar.

But first things first, I need to review some Seneca!

Mulligan? :P

Actually, where as I'd like to still do this, I do think it's a bit unreasonable for us to converse in a fast enough way to make this workable, so let's just trade off writing up dialogues/stories and have the other person translate. :P

Do you know what exactly did they change in the Mohawk ortography?

(I find the use of : for long vowels really cute)

(We should have study groups for eeeeeverythingggg)

I'm afraid I don't, I just know that they changed it in 1993 if I remember correctly.

I'm inclined to think that it didn't change that much, but I'm not sure by any measure.

(We should have study groups for eeeeeverythingggg)

Everything Iroquoian? I'd be down for that for sure! :P :lol: :D

Actually I was thinking everything Dene and Inuit but sure :lol:

So I'm going to start with the teaching grammar today. Because it seems I dig it, I might want to do everything Iroquoian at some point.

That reminds me that I should upload the audio. I'll try to do that later today. I'll shoot you a PM when I have some of it done.

And I'd definitely be up for a few other NAIL study groups. Eventually.

I could definitely get down with some Eskimo-Aleut, and a few others. I could potentially go for Dene too. (I'm not sure how you're meaning to use Dene, but using it by itself specifically means the Northern Athabascan speaking peoples. Which I could definitely go for. :P )

I imagine there aren't Iroquoian resources beyond beginning textbooks, right? :(

There are some grammars, but not much no. Are you looking at any particular language in the family, or for any particular resource(s)?
