Anishinaabemowin Part 2: vai
2020-04-22 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Thunder_Bay)
On April 22nd, 2020, you can join our Zoom meeting. Please INBOX or COMMENT on our Facebook page, or email us at 7gensanishinaabemowin@gmail.com to receive the meeting information via private message. Due to recent occurrences with disrupted Zoom calls we are going with a more secure way of participating in these sessions.
This learning session is designed to introduce learners to the usage of basic vai verbs of Anishinaabemowin. In this second session, learners will focus on learning about vai verbs, practicing sounds, and reading the double-vowel system.
Participants will be asked to contribute to discussions, play games, and are encouraged to ask questions. This is a safe online space for language learners to engage with some concepts of Anishinaabemowin.
It is recommended that you have a pen and paper handy. You will also need a method of accessing our Kahoot games online – either using your mobile device or computer. Handouts for this session can be found on our website:
