What satisfied customers say about the Pimsleur Ojibwe Audios:
This first of a proposed three programs teaches the Ojibwe language (a.k.a. Chippewa or Anishinaabemowin) in a fashion which is refreshingly new and different from other language material and courses. Instead of presenting new elements of Ojibwe vocabulary and grammar in choppy sequences of unrelated events, it builds up on a conversation by expanding a dialogue from one session to the next. The progression includes consistent reminders of previous lessons in an aural construction of a simple greeting between two individuals into a longer conversational interaction. The price seems a bit high for a package of sixteen tapes. The cost is comparable to purchasing several individual Anishinaabe language tapes which the market offers. It has an advantage in the continuity which exists from the first of the many tapes to the last, and its method of delivery avoids the dullness of continual rote memorization. For those who care to further their abilities and print in the language, any web based search engine or a distributor's search engine such as the one on this page can display a selection of texts which instruct in or include writing the Ojibwe language. -- A.
