Nuu-Chah-Nulth Language

Zeballos Elementary Secondary School does not teach French. We teach Nuu-Chah-Nulth instead. I am learning a new language along with my students! There are 44 characters in the alphabet and we have just finished making cue cards for each one. The students are much better at remembering the sounds than I am (young brains)! We have also had one of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Education Workers (N.E.W.) take us on a walking field trip to identify plant names in N-C-N. There is a website that I have been using to help me with this, but we also have a ton of resources in the school computers. My goal is to have them learn a song for the potlatch in Kyuquot next month. Cross your fingers for me!

Check out the website and try some of the sounds for yourself!
