Hello everyone,

I am advisor for an after-school language club. I was wondering if there are any spring competitions to keep us motivated and working hard.

Háu Ken,
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your collection and for all of your hard work. You have helped me and my students in so many ways. I am very grateful and will do my best to show my gratitude through my work.

... Lakota, and the addition of audio to the dictionary would make learning the language on line that much easier. Thank you to all who put in the hard work to make this possible. Judy

Aŋpétu Wašté! I knew you, Nina, Kostya, and Jan were the Best. You have now graduated to THE BESTEST OF THE BEST! Thank you for all your hard work and time (and CONSIDERABLE talent) spent in producing this meaningful and worthwhile project. Jan, your update couldn't have been better-timed ...

All people involved worked very hard for 9 or 10 hours a day to get the recordings done. During this phase we created the audio recordings of 22,000 dictionary entries. (This part ...

Thank you Kostya for all your hard work.

... currently in the New Lakota Dictionary (on-line version). This is wonderful news – congratulations and heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked so hard to achieve this. It must have needed high levels of concentration and motivation to complete the recordings in such a short time. It’s very encouraging ...

... approximately 23,000 headwords currently in the New Lakota Dictionary (on-line version). Our team of native speakers and language activists worked hard, and I believe everyone enjoyed the time in the studio. Our gratitude belongs to the following Lakota speakers: Ben Black Bear Gabe Black Moon ...

... be a wonderful addition, though I know from English language versions that it is very often wrong. I know, so greedy. Thank you all again for your hard work that makes learning a lesser-known language like Lakota much easier and makes learning it attractive for the younger generations that do everything ...

... is a variant of the word to mean "wilderness, wild places, uninhabited regions, nature". I did not find "maníŋtu" in the hard copy of the NLD either. Having the variant words in the O-NLD available would be extremely helpful to the student of the Lakota language. :) Again, ...

Hi Kostya,

I can't thank you enough for all the hard work you have put into the online dictionary. I read it for many hours during the day.

... of the older pre-computer generations, my allegiance was to reference books that I could hold in my hands but NLD-O has changed that forever. My hard copy of NLD (though still much-loved and well-thumbed) is no longer littered with sticky notes. With NLD-O I have instant access to both the English-Lakota ...

... make a commitment to learn the language, make an everyday effort to learn words and grammar, to go beyond the rudimentary basics and start working hard toward Lakota thinking, which is the most direct road towards understanding the Lakota culture from within. Discussing Lakota culture in English ...

... then you are likely to learn bad language habits from him or her. Such incorrectly learned language becomes fossilized over time and it is hard to get rid of. Are the teachers’ instructions and explanations clear or do they confuse the student? Does the teacher know what he/she is talking ...

... of dictionaries for classroom use can be costly, most teachers and administrators would know instinctually that the NLD-O will not soon replace hard copies. I know of no school that has enough computers and frequent enough access for students for that to happen. Furthermore, I think the online ...

... you like about the forum? What are the positive things that the forum brought to you? I agree with Nina. Too many good things to mention and its hard to find where to start. One opinion that I have formed since I started studying - is that the online Lakota language community is only so big, ...

Háu Mitákuyepi! I think the singular most positive aspect of our Forum is that the fear of failure has been removed. At first it was very hard to post a submission knowing that I was wrong, and was that I did not possess the skills to do it right. Even though learning a language is hard and ...

... very effective methods of helping each other. And so the Forum enters its second year. We hope that the number of Full Members (Ópȟawičhayapi) and Hard Working Members (Škíŋčiyapi) will continue to grow. We intend to add new features and content, and will continue looking for ways to improve the ...

... official launching of the New Lakota Dictionary Online. You can now enjoy using the electronic version that has many advantages compared to the hard copy. The online version of NLD has the following features: • Looking up words is much faster than in the hard copy. • The Lakota-English and English-Lakota ...

... a wonderful idea. I was just wondering about songs to teach my kids, lulabys, etc. Anyone else like Stephen's idea? Jim Jim, Lakota lullabies are hard to find nowdays, very few were recorded in the old days and even fewer survived among contemporary Lakota speakers. The LLC is about to publish ...

... a good decision on whether or not to keep it. Reputation points should not be given only when people make correct posts, but also when they try hard and especially when they go back and edit their sentence - that is the most important thing.

... that goal. I have no problem with the term reputation. I prefer this term over terms like 'attaboys' or 'brownie points' since they do recognize hard work and effort. I say that you should keep this aspect of the Forum as it is. I like getting them, and I also rejoice in seeing others get them ...

I can pitch a few concepts later in the week. What are the pixel dimensions needed and desired file format? Mitch --well, it's hard to say.. the current brown-square logo is 74x73 pixel The picture that jan has linked, is a background image, and we can have similar background. However ...

Today (February 20) the moderators decided to modify the layout of the forum's INDEX PAGE.
It occurred to us that the index page was getting far too long (reaching the length of two screens) and thus somewhat hard to navigate.
Please let us know what you think of the new layout.

Thank you
