About The Ojibwe LanguageOjibwe, more commonly known as Chippewa and also spelled Ojibwa or Ojibway, is an Algonquian language and part of the North American Indian language family. There is no official Ojibwe language, but forms of Ojibwe are spoken by tribes in North American and Canada, especially in the states of Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, and the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Pimsleur Ojibwe Program was originally commissioned by the Ojibwe Nation as a means of ensuring the Ojibwe language's survival in a climate which threatens to see the language become extinct in favor of English. As American Indian languages are among the most difficult for American English speakers to learn, the Pimsleur Ojibwe tapes offers a rare opportunity to learn Ojibwe with the ease that the Pimsleur method offers. Why The Pimsleur System WorksThe late Dr. Paul Pimsleur was much more than a language teacher. He did research on how both children and multi-lingual adults learn languages and discovered key principles that unlocked the mystery of how we learn languages. The Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language information. The various components of language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar -- are all learned together without rote memorization and drills. Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do. By listening and responding to thirty minute recorded lessons, students easily and effectively achieve spoken proficiency. » The Pimsleur Method « |
