Aaniin gwayak ekidong Ojibwemong?

I am struggling with my laptop to record my voice in ask the elder sentence/word.
I feel I am pronouncing the words for the most correctly. For me when pronouncing Ojibwe, it is important to recognize the spirits & ask for forgiveness if I am not pronouncing correctly. It can be just a simple acknowledgement out loud or closing my eyes and saying a small prayer. Our Ojibwe language is so special, that we want to make sure that we are humble in our mistakes.

  3. Remember we are dealing with technology here. The technology is not always right. Important that we try to speak and help is always appreciated.

  4. Your humility about this is appreciated :) Even Dorthy always says how she asks for foregiveness if she mis-speaks during her innovations for us. It is a good thing to begin with, and can only help one find the right path :)
