Raahub yasar,
The recent update that was delivered to us last week called Nimrod (at http://wu-nuwaup.com/outformation-class/nimrod/) from Mursal.tat Nysut.tat: Nerua Nafur.tat Atum-Rayay wu Mursal Nysut: Ptah Khaf Rayay Hepet Atum Rayay (Nerua's dress was lovely by the way), focused on the importance of our language Nuwaupuyee (formerly known as Nuwaupic). - The video of the update is at the bottom of this post.
If you didn't already know, there is a whole website now with Nuwaupuyee lessons on it at http://nuwaupic.com/
We aim to speak as much nuwaupuyee as we can, but this update really did give us a wake up call as to just how important it is, so we're going to learn a few words and phrases a week ans build from there.
So last week we learnt these words:
Nawam - Sleep
Jabab - Bring
Please - Ealal
No - Nual
What - Sanas
Here - Hunanu
That - Pafaf
What is that? Sanas kawan pafaf?
What colour is that? Sanas lawun kawan pafaf?
I'm going to spend another week on these then move onto 5 new words and 2 sentences a week from next week.
We went on a family walk which lasted about an hour in total,during the walk we went through the words then did lots of practice. As we walked I'd ask them "sanas kawan pafaf? and point at different things, or I'd ask "sanas lawun kawan pafaf? and they know most of the colours in nuwaupuyee so they could answer in nuwaupyee too, which allowed us to have a little nuwaupuyee conversation as we walked.
Homeschooling and learning can happen everywhere you go :-)
