I myself have just yesterday, came across the language "on-line" classes. And didn't have to persuade myself to sign-up. I have always wanted to learn the language and never thought I'd have the chance (living in California) to actually learn. so, I signed up! I'm happy, because it will be taught by someone who can teach me, instead of just reading the words out of a book. I still don't yet know how the vowels are pronounce and therefor I now I'm doing poorly on my own, but I have been making an effort. I was excited to sign up, and called my aunt to tell her, and she said "just who are you going to speak this too?" and i told her "my self" and that's all the reason i need. how ever both of my children are interested also, and so i will be teaching them as i learn, and my horse is learning too, cause i have been talking to him with some commands, in Choctaw, over the last couple years. It will be interesting to see how close I am on the pronunciation. though my horse does not no the difference any way. There is a friend of my aunts that lives in Fresno, that I see once in a while, that I can practice on, and they have helped me with some of the words I have had problems with. In fact there is someone that is one of those friends of my aunts, that went to the Choctaw Nation to study with Lillie Roberts in order to be qualified as a teacher here in Fresno, Calif. And is teaching classes now, however it is to far for be to go to learn, so this on-line class will be good. Brandi
