Practice
with sounds: How about if we learn pages 47 and 48 in Dindlidik, “Deg Xinag Xitr’inili’an’ Ts’in’ (We tried to learn Deg
Xinag)”. If you’re walking or riding to
work, you might be able to listen to this conversation as you go and talk along
with Hannah and Alta. Try to memorize
this just by hearing. Later look at the
writing to see where words begin and end and where stress occurs in the
sentences and words.
