Anishinaabemowin

Mr. Kenny Pheasant, Language Instructor has developed an interactive
language CD Rom to teach his native language, Anishinaabemowin. He says
that "The project has taken two years and many hours to bring this all
together." Kenny has been working with a grant through the Little River
Band of Ottawa Indians. This is the second phase of the grant. First
phase was to develop a plan to promote the study of the language,
establish a web site and outline the development of the CD Rom. Kenny
has continued with his yearly language camps and the creation of audio
tapes.

The CD Rom is a huge accomplishment that has taken years to develop.
The word has spread and it is expected that Kenny will be receiving
national recognition for the interactive computer product. It is a
state-of-the-art language instructional tool. He has planned an
extensive advertising program for the initial sale. The presentation he
gave at the Benodjenh Head Start building was attended by early
childhood teaching professionals. The CD Rom was developed for all ages
and expertise, it covers Anishinaabemowin for Beginner, Intermediate,
Advanced and Conversational levels. Short video clips are also included
as well as the software required by the computer to run the CD.

It is available from languagecd at l... for the low, low price of $39.00.
