Pimsleur Ojibwe Basic Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-10 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Ojibwe with Pimsleur Language Programs
This Basic program contains 5 hours of audio-only, effective language learning with real-life spoken practice sessions.
HEAR IT, LEARN IT, SPEAK IT®
What is the Pimsleur® difference?
The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Ojibwe structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Ojibwe can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.
The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands of words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.
When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That same learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed.
With Pimsleur you get:
Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation, Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically, The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere, 30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.
Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without textbooks, written exercises, or drills.
The 10 lessons in the Basic Ojibwe are the same as the first 10 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Ojibwe Level 1.
The 10 lessons in Basic Ojibwe are also the first 10 lessons in the 16 lesson Conversational Ojibwe edition.
Pimsleur learners progress from either the Basic or the Conversational to the Comprehensive Level 1, and not from Basic to Conversational edition.

You can't actually read this book -- there are no written materials accompanying the CD. It's a completely oral approach to language learning. The first two lessons were tough going, but during the third I started to get it. Basically it asks you to act like a small child/linguist -- listen to meaningful sentences and figure out the grammar and morphology yourself. With a lot of hints, of course, since they give you the right materials at the right time. When I started writing things down and analyzing them, I started to get it. I finished lesson 4 today. Two more, then I have to see if the library has the next 6 lessons. I can't wait to try my few sentences out on my Ojibwe-speaking friends.
Post-note: I stopped at lesson 5 -- I decided to focus on Zapotec instead. One New World indigenous language is enough on my plate, I guess.
Gigawabamin minowa!
