About This Book

A bilingual pre-primer presents basic Navaho vocabulary and simple sentences about family members, domestic life, animals, craftwork, and everyday activities alongside English equivalents. It pairs short illustrated phrases with a pedagogical alphabet and phonetic guide that explains vowel length and nasalization, diphthongs, and consonant contrasts, including special glottal and aspirated sounds. Brief instructional notes describe orthographic choices and pronunciation examples intended to simplify reading for primary learners and to support early acquisition of English through use of the native language.
