"The cultural lessons in this book emphasize the importance of family ties, a respect for oneself, and price in the strength that allowed the Navajo people to endure years of hardship. This book is inspired by a belief that the Navajo culture is very relevant to the lives of Navajo youth, and there need not be a clash between the wisdom of Navajo elders and the beliefs of contemporary Navajo families. This 448-page textbook provides a verb-based introduction to the Navajo language for college and secondary students. Diné Bizaad Bínáhoo'aah introduces students to the Navajo Sound System and the Navajo writing system. Clear explanations of vocabulary and grammar provide students with a solid foundation for building communication skills...Students will rediscover the Navajo language and develop communicative competence with Diné Bizaad Bínáhoo'aad: Rediscovering the Navajo Language" -- Back cover
