5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning words and pronunciation, February 12, 2010

This review is from: Lakhotiya Woglaka Po! - Speak Lakota! Level 2 Audio CD (Lakhotiya Woglaka Po! - Speak Lakota!) (Audio CD)

My kids are learning from this book series at school and I learn with them in the evening. This CD is meant to be used with the book. Is a great book for beginners. It is great for learning the writing system and pronunciation, there are dozens of listening activities in the book with the CD tracks integrated. It will give you a very good start with vocabulary and simple sentences too. I can't wait for the Level 3 textbook to come out to learn more. And my kids too. The writing system is the standard Lakota spelling now used by most of our schools. It is also used in the New Lakota Dictionary, the best book on Lakota out there.

Ok, I love languages and one day I came accross the Lakota language: I simply fell in love with it and you will too! The reviews here are quite confusing: I bought from the LLC (Lakota Laguage Consortium) the Text book 1 and the text book 2, and I bought the CDs for each of these text books. The text books are AMAZING and will teach you a great deal! In my opinion they are the best teaching tools available. The CDS are really great companions to the text book as they teach you how to pronouce the words. Therefore it is a mistake to review the CD(s) as stand alone. If you have any doubt, try Text Book 1 and CD 1. The content, the work from the author (Mr. Jan Ullrich) is worth much more than these are sold for!

The LLC teaching text books and CDs are definitively FIVE Star material. I did try other books and method but nothing compares to the LLC's. I have just bought the New lakota Dictionary (see my review) and the combination of the text book + CD + dictionay is simply the best material you can ask for in order to really learn Lakhota.

With so little in this field to look for I find it exceptionally refreshing to find the study guide and audio support together and so easy to use. Lets hope this isn't the last. With me living out here in the Pacific Northwest this kind of thing is the only way for me to keep in touch with my heritage.
