Une bonne façon d'apprendre l'inuktitut, c'est joli, attrayant, sonne bien, en plus c'est progressif alors on apprend à son rythme. Un coup d'oeil à la culture inuit par-dessus le marché...

What a unique idea, and wonderfully executed! It was fun and easy for myself and my 7year old. After we had practiced, we even had the opportunity to share it with our family. What a fantastic way to learn a language and a culture. Thank you!!

The English subtitles, the recording of self, and the sharing - not brave enough for that yet though :) - helps this Inuk down south learn the language.
