Learning the language

[Nadja Adolf]

Well, there is a great way to learn the language - The Chinuk Lu?lu.
It was a lot of fun, a lot of learning, and really helped.

My pronunciation and grammar still stink, but at least it gave me the
courage to go forth and try to use the wawa.

I receive the List messages for the most part because my son wants them. He
loves Chinook -- in part because our friend (the late) Charles Lillard got
him keen. I enjoy everything about the List -- the historical information,
the linguistic musings, etc. And the messages from people who actually use
the Jargon to communicate information are fascinating, even though I don't
know enough to follow the threads myself (I keep telling myself I'll
learn....). Nadja's translations were helpful and graceful. I hope the List
continues as it has been and that the malcontents cool out. The messages
forwarded which Nadja Adolf received in response to her Chinook tale of the
road were unnecessarily rude and boorish. Enough!
