We are proud of our children<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A fun way to begin learning our language is to practice saying Algonkian phrases instead of your usual English phrases when you speak to your children. Children learn and remember orders quickly. As you learn and use them, your children will also learn them and their meanings will stick. Here are some typical words and phrases you might say to your children. Note the variations in the phrases when you are speaking to more than one person.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
