I wish there was a health care provider version. Struggling speaking Navajo working as a nurse and need to ask if my pt is in pain, where they are in pain, any chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, warm/cold, bathroom, hungry etc.
i haven’t delved too deep. I’m trying to learn Navajo on duolingo, so I think this will help a lot. Duolingo does not provide pronunciation after the first couple lessons. i hope this can make it a more complete experience.
This app shouldn't even be for sale. Most of the Navajo translations aren't even available. Only the basic words are available like numbers and colors. Everything else just says "word not available" in Navajo, just in English. Bought all four and am very disappointed .
The interface isn't very user friendly. It's ok. Some of the words are missed pronounced and one guy sounds like he hardly speaks navajo. I will not be buying the other volumes until this one is improved. Also, why are you adding ads after we've already purchased this app? Remove ads and I'll consider getting more apps.
Speaking Navajo is a choice. However we choose to learn, this is only one tool. It is far from perfect but I applaud the attempt to create an economical tool to help keep our language alive. Yes, I noticed that many of the Navajo words were repeated for many of the English words. One needs to keep in mind that most Navajo words have multiple meanings, some Navajo words are difficult to translate into English, and the sound of the Navajo word is different depending on what part of the reservation you come from. Things that could be fixed are: Having the correct spelling of the Navajo word, changing the title.."Navajo 1 " is a little confusing.. I was expecting more of just the basics, all basic colors, numbers, family member recognition, basic anatomy, animals, easy for the beginner and adding simple phrases to apply the new word would be nice.
This is the most awesome Navajo language program that I have ever used! It has everything for the beginning Navajo speaker to begin learning and understanding the language. The navigation is simple and all Navajo words are clearly spoken by a traditional Navajo speaker. I give this app the highest rating!
Been working with the Navajo tribe a while and find this app to be helpful. The Navajo women I work with have some different pronunciations, otherwise the audio is pretty good. I think you're going to have different pronunciations wherever you go no matter what language you're speaking.
Thx for making Learning Basic Navajo fun and easy! Hearing the pronouns the words is very helpful as well as the "sound like". I hope you continue to update with new word and hopefully make full sentences!
Good idea but I also noticed that the pronunciation was off also ex. for wolf or deer. Also didn't like that there we're 4 or 5 different English words for one Navajo word. This app needs a makeover, glad it was only 99cents.
I've been working in the Navajo Nation for a few months and I interact with the community on a regular basis. I do not speak Navajo and wanted to learn some basics. I bought the Vol 1 app and was very disappointed. The word Bathroom/Restroom is not listed. That's any language 101 stuff. Where's the bathroom? Not even listed. But...every word for "Coke" is listed. Don't waste your money.
This is a great concept, but most words and pronuciation is off. The spelling in Navajo is incorrect. Please Fix all incorrect translations and pronuciation on all versions. It is hard for people to learn the traslations if they are incorrect.
This app is totaly screwed up i am diné indian and this is insulting that they dont even know what they r doing and trying to sell it. Do Not Buy This Crap
