Description
Lingít G̲unéi Sh Tóo Dultóow Xʼúxʼ (Workbook for Beginning to Study Lingít) is an extension of the landmark book Beginning Tlingit, which was edited by the late Tlingit scholars Richard and Nora Dauenhauer. The workbook was written and compiled by X̱’unei Lance Twitchell, Ph.D., a language student of the Dauenhauers who is a professor of Alaska Native languages at the University of Alaska Southeast.
The workbook is a must-have tool for any student studying the Tlingit language because it teaches Tlingit words and concepts through imagery. It is based entirely on the teaching methods and steps developed by the Dauenhauers, as well as many other contributors over the years, but it also incorporates some of the ways people today are documenting and teaching various parts of Tlingit grammar, especially verbs. First published by Sealaska Heritage Institute in 2017, the second edition was released in October 2022.
