Let’s Learn Lingít

A Study Tool for the Tlingit Language

Tlingit is not an ancient relic—it is a living language that has endured despite every effort to silence it. Within the last century, our people have been punished for speaking our language. Schools, institutions, and government policies worked to erase it from our lives. And even now, when we fight to reclaim what was taken, we are told that our language has no value, that it is a personal hobby rather than a right, or that revitalization efforts are too difficult to support.

Let’s Learn Lingít is a response to that.

This interactive study tool is designed to be a safe place for learners, whether you are just beginning your journey or looking to strengthen what you already know. This game is not a product of diversity initiatives or trends—it is a direct act of survival, love, and resistance.

Features:

• Explore the Language – Navigate through immersive learning spaces, where everyday objects are labeled with their Tlingit names.

• Interactive Games – Engage in concept matching, puzzles, and memory challenges to reinforce learning.

• Picture Glossary – Pairing words with images for intuitive study.

• Real-Time Dictionary Search – Easily find words in Tlingit and English with a navigation system designed for efficient learning.

• Call and Response Practice – Learn to engage in simple conversations through interactive prompts.

This is more than just a language tool—it is a way to connect, to remember, and to ensure that Tlingit will continue to be spoken for generations to come.

Note on PLACENAMES: Please allow me a couple of weeks to get that one updated so it reveals map again.
