Beginning Tlingit combines a systematic introduction to Tlingit grammar with phrases and conversations for everyday use. Moving from the easiest and advancing to more complex, the book teaches students how to make new sentences of their own. The third edition includes two 90-minute audio cassette tapes so that students can hear how the language sounds, and follow along with the lessons. The tapes are set up so that listeners can interact, sometimes repeating the words, sometimes guessing the answers. A detailed introduction explains the drills and suggests ways of using the book at home, in schools, and in Tlingit communities.
