    And may I say your language is beautiful! I've taken Spanish and French, but I have to say, your language is by far the most interesting.

  • Thank you for your introduction in the Navajo language. I'm highly interested in languages and cultures. So you gave me a good first impression. Thank you!

    I'm a German teacher and a passionate handspinner and follower of your famous artist Clara Sherman. Her videos taught me how to spin wool with a Navajo spindle.

    Greetings from Germany, Eva

  • Wow... You're amazing... It is hard for me to believe a guy like you hasn't been married yet... at least during the making of this video. I hope to end up with someone as educated and cultured...

  • nIZHONI. I TOOK A NAVAJO CLASS DURING MY SOPHOMORE YEAR IN HIGHSCHOOL AND SURPRISINGLY I STILL REMEMBER SOME STUFF. THANK GOODNESS I STILL CAN INTRO MYSELF IN NAVAJO AND TALK ABOUT WHAT I LIKE TO DO DESCRIBE PLACES, FOOD, FAMIL, FRIENDS, AND MORE LOL BUT NOT AS FLUENT AS YOU. YOU DID GREAT!

  • Why do the smart ones always like to wave their arms like a woman, make cakes, listen to Gaga and Techno, run, be single, drink latte’s, use Macintosh products and be Pharmacists???? Why???

  • Hello i dont know if you will get this but i really love your videos i just found them. My parents gave me up when i was a baby and the only thing i know about myself is that i am navajo Your videos are a way for me to see my home thank you.

  • Hello my name is Luz and I will be heading down to NM to Twin Pines and Bisti this summer to work with a missionary org in order to serve the Navajo Reservations i mentioned. Was looking to find info on the Navajo and came across your video. Thought it was super cool. Any advice on NM. Look like you are in Arizona with your church.

  • Nizhonigo shinaałi naaskid! Nizhonigo dinék’eji yaniłtí ’óó así nizhoni! Diné badaiiho naa yadaałti’ii handii daané at’eendí yaniłti!

  • Iam 1/2 navajo..my mom is full blooded kiayoni...i cant spell that lol but i only kno her clan ...you should do some teaching videos ...i really wish to learn ..

  • Hi! This is great video! I love it because I am a Navajo, and to hear the Navajo lanuage takes me back to my childhood. I live in Utah 1 mile from the Idaho border and am married to a white man. I get teased, not in a bad way, but they say that I am a poor excuse for and indian. I don't even eat meat and become a vegetarian. My Navajo friend calls me a valley girl. Anyways keep these videos coming. Keep up the good work.

  • @merkleys05 By the way my husband gave me a Native Name "Runs-On-Eliptical" LOL.

  • Okay you kinda talk like a gay guy. Talk like a real navajo man, I think you are too happy to talk navajo or you barely learn, You sound funny but At least you know how 2 talk navajo barely. Keep learning you doing good.

  • I'm half Navajo and half Apache. I only know how to speak a little Apache but I want to learn Navajo. Lol This video was nice to watch, thanks for posting it. You are such a smart and educated Native. Lol

  • again not trying to insult anyone.the word NA can mean many things i think they might change it soon since that word is in debate from what ive read on wikipedia. its just that you can easily go to peru or bolivia and pass as a local.my friends father is from peru and you look just like him thats why i asked that earlier question. just wondering are you Christian?what denomination j/w

  • i wanna know if you consider ppl such as the tzotzil Quechua and aymara inuits and mapuche to be native americans?i know thats a lose word but i dont wanna use indian for obvious reasons. not trying to start a war just asking since many ppl dont consider NA from latin america/canada to be "native american".and by that i mean "race" i think evo morales is a good example he looks pure 100% native.i know its implying usa natives but do u consider them to be "cousins"like English r 2 the germans?

  • Excellent video. I wish I had more opportunity to speak my tribal language but lack of Navajo speakers makes it difficult. It's nice just to hear some speak.

  • Oh and how do you navajo-ize words?

  • So you're fluent in Navajo?

    Would translating anime be a good idea? Maybe even just subtitles?

  • Will u help me learn Navajo?

  • I'm a whitey with no culture, will you help me learn Navaho. I live in South West, so i could not live on a Navajo reservation. Will you please help me to learn it. Email me at thetrinity130@yahoo.com

  • @LightCardMagic no culture? everyone has a background or has your family been in america for a really long time to the point where you are all just english speakers.

  • how do you say Family i really need to know

  • @3DManbearpig You would say “bił kééhasht’íinii”!

  • are you full native?

  • @thunderheart226 Yeah, I am! :-)

  • Wow! I've only heard Navajo spoke once when I was passing through Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona. It's Such a unique-sounding language with consonant sounds like no other in the world!

  • I really enjoyed this! What a beautiful language. I am moving to New Mexico and will be studying Navajo Language - - ay tips for a novice? I'll be working as an R.N. in Shiprock.

  • I'd love to learn Navajo. Sounds like a really nice language. Only know a little bite though. So you're family is Presbyterian? I go to an Independant Baptist Church in Colorado. I got saved around a year ago. Also into pharmacy, that sounds nice. Right now I am in the process of enrolling into University of Phoenix online to be a pharmacy technition. I just hope it all goes well. Glade to hear you are walking with Jesus Christ. Hope all the best. Nice videos by the way. Listen to the songs alot

  • I'm only a little bit Native American. I don't even know which tribe!!! It's been filtered down through the generations of my family (both sides I think) but I REALLY wish that I was full blooded & knew the culture & spoke the language of a NA tribe.

  • Yá'át'ééh, Terry, and ahehee! I'm thrilled to find your videos--they are so helpful! I started studying Navajo last year. I've found books & CDs but it helps even more to see you speaking. I am a bilagaana but I love traveling in Diné Bikeyah, and I find the language beautiful and fascinating.

  • i think you have a gift of a culture and an in site into a culture that you should pass on before it gets lost i do envy you and would have loved in my life to speak and belong to a culture that so many people know nothing about i take my hat off to you all the best Alex

    Greetings from Turkey.

  • No better way to teach something than simply to show it being done well. Great video.

  • Wow, Sunset Glow as your favorite song! I'm glad to meet someone who loves Korean music. Hehe..(Well, I'm Korean XD)

    You are very fluent in Navajo! I wanted to learn Navajo language but I couldn't find any good materials to study in Korea... But I finally found your video! Yeah!

    I love how you speak Navajo so fluently! 8D

  • This is great! I'm Iroquois and it is difficult to find people as fluent as you are in a Native language... a lot of people don't realize how much culture language is, it's all culture.

  • I wish I'd learned to speak Navajo when I moved out here to AZ. Hey sha hastiin is also from Lukachukai! :D

  • Wow, thanks for translating! Your language is so beautiful, I hope you all never ever loose it and so glad to hear you speak and also translate for us! If ever Im out your way...I'd love to meet you and family! God Bless You and family!!

  • Very beautifully done. The navajo language is indeed a beautiful language!

  • Awesome!!! I like that Billy Idol made it to your top 5 list! Awesome video, I say.

  • I want to learn Navajo.

    Right now, I am studying Russian (and doing well, if I may say), but this Christmas, I will begin Navajo. Once I feel that my Russian is reasonable, I'll put it on the back burner and start Hindi. If Hindi gets good, I'll start Icelandic, all with Navajo. And if I get to Navajo... I'll start ASL or Yoruba. Too many languages!

    Your videos are fascinating. The subtitles are helpful. Thank you for your Navajo material.

    :)

    (didn't understand, but you like avatar? me too!)

  • 2LynxRunner:

    Большие планы. :) Учитывая то, что все упомянутые языки относятся к совершенно разным языковым семьям. Удачи в освоении! :)

    2daybreakwarrior:

    Great video! I always had interest in Indian culture and languages. It is very glad to see that navajo language is still alive and used by people. You're great, man. Best wishes from Ukraine!

  • Too bad I dont know what your saying but it sounds real good! Can u make a video of some of the elders doing some art or some cooking?? I'd love to see it!
