## What is Cherokee Lessons 1?

This app is designed to help you acquire the Cherokee language though the use of pictures representing actions, states of being, and so forth. The app closely follows the material in the book "Cherokee Language Lessons 1". The book is recommended to get the most use out of this app.

This app assumes you know the Syllabary. If you don't know the Syllabary it is strongly recommended to complete the "Cherokee Syllabary Dictation Exercises" at https://www.cherokeelessons.com/lessons/Syllabary-Dictation/ before using this app. The dictation and writing exercise combination provides the fastest path to learning the Syllabary, and learning it well!

The theory, based on TPR materials, is that you acquire a language by listening and association, not by translations or reciting. Listen to and correctly associate enough material and you will begin speaking the language automatically.

The app uses some of the concepts for "interval learning", in particular, Pimsleur for same training sessions timings and Leitner Boxing for selecting which challenge should be displayed during which session.

### 5/5 — Excellent beginner app!

*2022-01-20*

This one is very good! Even if you do not have the book (book helps though).
I love the written, in syllabary, words at the top of the picture so you can associate printed word with idea instead of only trying to hear the distinctions. And I love that I can play the audio of the word as many times as I want or need.
The buzzer that you get when you are incorrect is somewhat disturbing in sound quality for those sensitive to sounds but you can turn down the volume on your device if the buzzer becomes too distressing. 

I really like that this isn’t just nouns, it’s concepts, actions, and so on.
It’s really quite amazing.
