What is Reddit's opinion of Ojibway?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

How can I learn to speak Ojibwe? Are there any resources or fluent speakers in nearby city centers? (North Bay, Mississauga, Toronto).

There's a neat app available. Have you seen it before?

Edit: I'm asking about languages and I can't even type English properly this morning.

Boozhoo/Aanii niijii! (Hello friend!) I am eastern Ojibwe and live far from home too. First, I'd like to share a couple pieces of personal advice as you head towards this learning. Then I'll get to resources :)

Most important: Be gentle with yourself! Learning our languages can be intensely emotional. Do not beat yourself up if you don't learn as fast as you want. Don't let discouragement get the better of you.

Be aware that learning Anishinaabemowin (outside of an immersion setting) will likely require you to learn some light linguistics. Making sure you're familiar with terms like verb, noun, preposition, etc. will help.

Also, this may be a surprisingly emotional journey for you. Not everyone has this experience, but a lot of people find learning their language washes up a lot of identity issues. I do not say this to discourage you. As I learn Anishinaabemowin, my identity is being affirmed so deeply. But the process of gaining affirmation is often uncomfortable, scary, or painful. It's all so, so worth it though.

Okay, resource time! We're fortunate to have a lot of options, some of which include:

Ojibwe Language Fix of the Day on Facebook. There are several fluent speakers and language teachers in this group. It's mostly people learning and asking questions. It's can be a good place for cultural learning as well.

Daga Anishinaabemodaa is an awesome text with beautiful illustrations. It's written in Minnesota/western Ojibwe. There's also a Soundcloud account that goes with this text! Daga Anishinaabemodaa translates approximately to, "Let's all speak Ojibwe please!"

There are many dictionaries for our language. You may want to call your band office to see if your community has its own dictionary, or if any of your neighbouring communities do.

The Ojibwe People's Dictionary is a good online resource, but it has a learning curve. It uses a lot of linguistics terms that go way over my head, and isn't terribly helpful for grammar. Sometimes you have to wrestle with search terms. The website also has history and cultural teachings available, which is great.

A good paper resource is the Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe frequently.

There are also apps available: Neechee for iOS, FreeLang for Android and in browser, Ogoki Learning Systems Ojibway on iOS and Google. I haven't used any of these yet. My friends have praised the FreeLang app.

I wish you all the best in your language learning journey :)
