    Posted by Julia Webb on Feb 24th 2021

    This is a wonderful bundle. Helps to make the journey into learning the language more affordable. I trust Mr. Tiospaye that these are the books to learn from. Also LLC Bookstore is great! A wonderful team on a much needed mission. Thanks so much to the staff! You are the best.

    Bundle of 4 textbooks and CDs

    Posted by Julia Webb on Feb 3rd 2021

    I appreciate this bundle. I am not using the books but this is what the teachers at Tusweca Tiospaye asked for. They are setting up a school for youth to learn and preserve the Lakota language. I and others are combining our money as we can, and buying the bundles for them. This helps us help them. The horrific results of COVID have made our efforts urgent. Thank you for the bundle! We have some of your other books on the list, but this bundle will get the kids started. Stay well.

    LAKȞÓTIYA WÓGLAKA PO! - SPEAK LAKOTA! LEVELS 1-4 PACKAGE

    Posted by Pamela Brenza on Jul 1st 2020

    I wish the books matched up with the CD's better. It is difficult (at best) to follow which page(s) on the book coincide with the CD. It is difficult to follow along at times.. Otherwise, it is a great series.

    great product

    Posted by Unknown on Jan 19th 2018

    I am an adult student and I am learning on my own at the moment. I like the books very much, they are simple and easy to follow.
    Thr cds are very important because the pronunciation is quite complex.
    I will have to add the grammar book soon because as an adult I need to understand the structure of the language as well.
    Thanks you for putting on the marked this important book.

    Great purchase

    Posted by Ace on Sep 13th 2017

    I've always wanted to learn my language. I work all day but I am able to listen to the cds on my iPod in the morning. I still don't know all what is being said but the repetition of hearing it spoken daily is helping immensely. 5 solid years of listening and learning will pay off. Some day I will teach my grandchildren how to speak Lakota. Thank you to all the great people who made these learning tools.
