More practice CJ texts? (& other learning materials)

[Dave Robertson]

Klahawiam,

Mike, all the quizzes I've posted are in the archives of CHINOOK online.  I don't have them saved on any disk at home, so if you go to the archives and search for "quiz" or "lhaksta kEmtEks" or ikta kahkwa, they should all turn up pretty quick.

Thank you for volunteering space on your website, Mike.  It'll be great to see these quizzes some place where people will easily find them.

If any of you want to make a webpage of the CJ practice texts that I'll be posting, please let me know.  I like Mike's idea of receiving money for teaching Jargon to people, but for the time being, it'd be reward enough to know folks are studying and making progress with the language out there!

Jeff, did you put any Chinook word-search puzzles on your site?  This is an admission that I've done very little surfing lately!  Please push me to finish the work I've started on those puzzles, i.e. I'm creating an answer key for each, so you'll know which spellings to be looking for.

Dave
