Cool, you're not using the Syllabary in the video lessons?

[UsdiWalelu]

@RoyalKnightVIII its better to learn the language to speak it and then learn to read it.....its easier to learn it that way...just like kids learn to speak before reading :)

[RoyalKnightVIII]

@UsdiWalelu Well unfortunately I am not longer a child, no neverland for me, but as a adults we have other tools at our disposal to help in our learning, I just learn better with writing.

Well either weay you're still using the romanization, mine as well include the Syllabary to get used to it.

Well thanks for the lessons anyway :)

[MosheTortomasi]

In oklahoma we do not use sh.... we use s sound. we say sio, tahija. I have never heard shio before. Please tell me is the syllabary you use different from the one we used in school in Oklahoma? I will do some research as well.

[UsdiWalelu]

@MosheTortomasi This is not Western dialect,....there are many different Cherokee dialects...not just one.

That's why it sounds different. There's Eastern, Western, Snowbird, Kituwah and I think there's one or more also. It's important to keep the language alive, but that means not just one dialect, but all. Most people don't know there's more dialects so its understandable :) Oklahoma uses Western.

I found out I am Cherokee. My great grandma on my moms side was full Cherokee.

Sgi for reading! XD

BUT BO JOKE IM REALLY CHEROKEE!

[chiefaniwaya]

Siyo! That was an excellent introductory lesson - probably the best I've heard. Thanks for supporting Tsalagi! It's a beautiful language and far too people speak it.

Looking for help with cherokee, but eastern. teaching my 2 year old but never knew much myself as my mother failed to keep us in touch with our culture! anybody who can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

[UsdiWalelu]

@ThruTheEyeOfTheStorm go to the user Tsasuyeda and watch her videos...she has better language videos than I do.

[Witatsois]

I watched this with a great big smile. It is so good to see young people learning the language again!

Gatsv tsalagi hadelogwa'a?

[TsalagiAgvnage]

Osda! Great job. Keep up the good work.

[Chezrocksall]

I hope my comments helped you ;)

[Chezrocksall]

You did not make any mistakes this video but I just wanted to point these important things out to you just in case you didn't know. Now your pronunciation needs a lot of work but that's not important. :D Your video was very good, especially coming from a fresh learner of the language. Great job! ;)

[Chezrocksall]

I speak Cherokee (not fluently, but very good I guess...) and this video was very good. ;)

Thank you - wa-do (Thanks is sgi so you are right on that part)

How are you? - to-hi-tsu? (proper translation) 'o-si-gwo-tsv' can be also interpreted as a 'how are you' but it translates to 'are you well' in which it is a type of 'how are you', but 'to-hi-tsu' is the main and proper translation for 'how are you'.

You did not make any mistakes this video but I just wanted to point these important

I have heard Cherokee all my life...but this sounds alot different....but I still could understand it. (o-si-yo Hello) And I've just started to learn how to read and write in Cherokee.

[SWAZDUDE]

I think it is AWESOME that you are doing your part to keep the language alive. Too many are lost and becoming extinct. You mentioned classes for the cherokee language, where can I find one? Send me a message and let me know. Sgi!

[usTwalela]

Not too badly done.

[greeneyedgirlx]

you did pretty good for just learning the language!

I speak tslagi fluenlty, and you did very well!
