Rough Start

Today was technically my first day studying Navajo even though I did not do much. I got a little intimidated when I reviewed the various ways to pronounce the vowels and consonants. In addition, since creating this blog I informed my parents about it which made dindin time a language lesson. During that time I was reminded of the level of complexity around evening speaking Navajo. There's so many ways to say something and rarely do words that are in different pretenses include the same affixes, so it's hard to know where to place the indicators for creating a different pretense. Despite all that I was able to recall some words I had learned from my last attempt to learn the language and even created some crude sentences. I still have a long way to go, though.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be much more productive.
