Fun little Wahzhazhe language app,very well done
It uses Visual of people saying, with the Osage language shown above the speaker. The quizzes are fun, with the little wahluschka jumping and crunching; it is as fun to get wrong answer as right 😁
When we can use our language freely socially, without being embarrassed, we will have taken a huge step toward preservation. We are like Israelis with Hewbrew, only alive in religion and a few families in 1900. But now, many Israelis only speak Hebrew, and need interpreters when they visit here. Which might be a bit overkill; bilingualism builds bridges between people, which is obviously important in the USA. But Native language really helps preserve Native culture, with other tribes I work with.
This app and the classes will help. I look forward to seeing more and more over time, and can’t wait for more fun quizzes!

Great tool for learning
This app is such a blessing for someone who works long hours and unable to go to onsite classes. I can learn on my own time and pace and continue to study my heritage. Thank you for making this!!
