Noah is coming along with his Ojibwe language lessons;
He's learned how to say "I love you" and tells me in Ojibwe all the time... so cute!
"Gi zah gin!"
Here's some color words we're working on:
The medicine wheel~ four directions~ four elements~ four seasons.
misskwa~red
mukaday~black
wabiska~white
ozawahn~yellow
I've placed word cards around the house with the Ojibwe and English translations for everyday objects. We have them through out the kitchen and living room.

Wow! This is incredibly cool! I didn't know you could speak Ojibwe, Anet. To take the time to pass it on to Noah is so special.
Hi Tara,
Megwetch~ Thank you,
I can't speak Ojibwe yet... we're learning together with an Ojibwe language course.
Noah is much better at this than I am. It's in his blood I guess and he still has that teachable mind... unlike mine.
I have come up with some other ideas to help us learn the language like posting the word cards.
