(4,520 posts)Unfortunately, several weeks into it, I was the only student left and the library decided it wasn't worth the effort. They have never scheduled another class.
I tried learning from a set of tapes, there was no feedback, I had no idea if I was learning anything or not.
I tried online. Maybe the teacher was a bot. First phrase was supposed to be 'hello" one of the few words I do know, IDK what the bot said, it wasn't a hello anyone around here would understand. The one class available from the tribe is in a location an hour and half away, the roads are horrible, cut through the middle of nowhere and my car is crap. Not only that class starts at 8pm, but I also wouldn't get home until nearly midnight.
Family Cherokee, kidnapped and sent to boarding schools. 1/2 the family rebelled and clung even tighter to tradition. The other half jumped on the jesus bus. That's a very common family situation in OK.
