Amanda Makepeace (ᏣᏁᎾ)I just finished the last class of Cherokee 3 (still need to take the final). Class was a retake for me. I passed the first time but I thought a refresher would be nice before taking Cherokee 4 in the fall. I've signed up for an intensive short course on verbs next. #cherokeelanguage
Look at those fluffy pants! 🤍

The wind this morning is intense. I kind of love hearing it howl and whistle. I wonder if it's like this all over Rochester or just where I am so close to Lake Ontario.

I keep finding little ᏣᎳᎩ notes as I unpack things in the studio. Still excited when I remember a word. This is the word for panther, or mountain lion. 🤎

I decided to trust myself. I’ve signed up to retake Cherokee 3 and then move forward with level 4. I don’t want to waste any time learning from Ed Fields. Elders aren’t here forever. 🫶🏼
So now I’m reviewing my notes from levels 1 and 2. I am retaining things. I just need to start using it more every day.
