OJIB 101 Beginning Ojibwe I

Ojibwe is an indigenous language of Minnesota, and students who take this class will begin to learn to speak and use the Ojibwe language at a basic conversational level. The purpose of this class is not merely to gain an appreciation or knowledge of the Ojibwe language, but to gain a rudimentary ability to use and speak Ojibwe in everyday situations. Thus, some instructors may require students to have a tape or digital recorder for homework assignments. The overall goal is to help students gain a strong grammatical and speaking foundation on which to continue their path towards fluency in the Ojibwe language. Students in this class will also begin to read and write in the Ojibwe language
