To make learning new nuwaupuyee (our language) easier, the kharadu (children) and I made this little poster.
It's 4 pieces of black craft/sugar paper stuck together then decorated with ankhs. The words of the week are stuck on with tape that we carefully remove and replace with new words or sentences each week.
If you are teaching your kharadu or yourself, you may find it helpful to have something like this up so that you can see it very regularly. We have ours up in our living room, which is also the dining room and mir (school) room too, so we see it all the time. I aim to practice the words with them daily, just by getting them to look at them and we'll all say them out loud in Nuwaupuyee and english.
This picture is of last week's words, this week (commencing Mon 16th Oct 2012) our words are
Yakax - take
Safaf - see
Sawaf - look
radad - give
and the sentence - Panan zamam enen eahaw aalam nahaw... - today we will learn about ... ( I can use this every day during our mir studies several times and even get them to say it to me and let them teach me something :-)
