Learning to speak
Halkomelem

 

This project started with me wanting to learn my own language: Halkomelem; which is on the endangered list.

​

A friend of mine encouraged me to use my skills to create resources for people wanting to learn 'conversational Halkomelem'.

Elders and Professors

 

I've been getting much help from the local Elders (they've let me use a local story), and a linguist professor who's been engaged in our community language learning for many decades; without their help I could not complete this project.

Events & Announcements
March 2018

This month was spent looking for resources; story, textures, people to play the parts.

April 2018

I attended and gave a presentation to the opening night of the Masters of Halkomelem class given by Donna Gerdts here in Duncan. The reception was encouraging for me, as I had never spoken in public about this project before. Many people were excited about getting in on the project. 
I had to switch to using Kitely, instead of Second Life because of educational tax purposes. I am pleased with the results.
