The goal of the Conversational Navajo Workbook is to introduce you to the basic structure of the Navajo language without a lot of linguistic jargon. This workbook is only the beginning to your study and mastery of the Navajo language. Patterns are introduced that present grammatical concepts in a topical format. The workbook is designed to be not only a course text, but also a self-study guide. There are two main sections. The first is a pronunciation guide designed to help you learn the phonology system of the Navajo alphabet. The attached audio CD pronunciation guide will help you to accurately pronounce Navajo words. The second section are twenty topical lessons that present new vocabulary and concepts. The other included CDs provide a pronunciation model for the vocabulary and practice questions. This guide is designed to be used in conjunction with the Conversational Navajo Dictionary, a pocket-sized quick reference guide.
