Han mitakuyapi,<br /><br />I have a question. Does anyone know if any research has been done on how to help the people who "understand but don't speak" to become speakers? In my tribe we could probably quadruple our number of speakers [or more] if we found a way to accomplish this. Most of those people are a generation away from our fluent speakers so it would not only dramatically increase the number of our fluent speakers, but it would also include many people who are yet young enough to become the teachers of tomorrow.<br /><br />Tammy DeCoteau<br />AAIA Native Language Program
