I Starting Learning Navaho - Why And How?



 I started learning Navaho. the native American language. It is apparently the shortest, easiest, quickest course to finish on Duolingo. I raced through the first task. Abini is morning. I looking at the letter b and thought of the word beginning or break of day, a starts the word as in a.m. 

The next easy word to learn was Ni in Navaho is you in English. It sounds and looks like the Chinese Ni hao which sounds like 'knee how?' which is literally 'you good?', meaning how are you in English. 

After you have learned a word, later in the set of tasks is choosing the correct word in Navaho from a list of three. That is easy. For example, morning is which, abini or ni? It is abini. You is which, abini or ni? It is ni.


Navaho - English

Abini - morning

Ni - you


English - Navaho

Morning - abini

you - ni
