JUNEAU, ALASKA (2011-07-25) Do you want to learn Tlingit? You could
start with the 50 letters, including some sounds that are not found in
other languages.

A new online tool, plus a note-card-and-audio system, is aimed at
children. But it can help students of any age.

The Sealaska Heritage Institute has created the online, audiovisual
teaching program. It’s also being distributed as a note card and
CD-audio system teaching the written language’s 50 letters.

"One of my first teachers said before you can say a sound or word you
have to be able to hear that sound," says Linda Belarde, who creates
Tlingit language curriculum for the institute.
