Ratings and reviews

The language app has a lot of good features. You have the alphabet. You have sentences. You have the spelling of each words. The best part is is that it has an audio version of each word so that way you can listen to How It's pronounced. I recommend this app to anybody wanting to learn Tlingit. I also recommend it if you have a learning disability to this would be a good app.

How can I get a update for the index. The app is not updating the data base and has been this way for a while now. I get about 30 words and phrases in the index and phrase sections. Exaggerated the low number but it seems slim pickings on words to learn. I counted the number of words and I have 68 words to learn, "I get the error" message unable to update please try again later"

My mother Ida Gallagher taught tlingit in yakutat city school for years and allso the spelling of the language. I grew up in the tlingit culture and not many children new the language. It's good to see the language being taught once again.
