The Navajo language is a complex and difficult language to learn, especially if you do not have the luxury of having daily contact with native speakers. Though textbooks are available online, audio is highly helpful in guiding correct pronunciation. This is the first of a set of videos to attempt to give brief tutorials on this Native American language.        This first video covers basic greetings, such as hello, goodbye, etc. Briefly, how to say "I like this..." is covered.     Though traditional Navajos provide more complex introductions than is presented here, such as a person's mother's clan (nilínígíí), their father's clan (yáshchínígíí), maternal grandfather's clan (dahacheii), and paternal grandfather's clan (dahanálí), this level of detail is not covered here. If you're seeking a higher level of Navajo language instruction, I'd recommend enrolling into a Navajo language course at Diné College, the University of New Mexico, San Juan College, Northern Arizona University, etc.        I hope you find these tutorials useful. Enjoy & have fun!        Note: Some of you may have noticed that I kept deleting & re-uploading this video. I tried to correct errors and glitches with the video. The frames kept freezing. I finally got it worked out so no more deletions of this vid in the future. Enjoy!
