Meet Cree : a guide to the Cree language
Introduces the reader to the Cree language, mainly by showing how its structure differs from that of English. It does not attempt to teach the Cree language itself, but those who read this book will find it much easier to actually learn Cree afterwards. The book will make Euro-Canadians aware of language differences that are liable to cause misunderstandings, and it will acquaint them with the difficulties faced by Cree speakers when they learn English. The authors introduce the reader to the sounds of Cree, its consonants, vowels, and semivowels. Differences in approach to gender, number, and direction are explored, as are inflections of nouns, pronouns, and verbs. Word "shape", as important in Cree as word order is in English, is explained with many examples, and the book ends with a list of supplementary readings
