This game has enriched the lives of my children, my grandchildren, friends and I so very much. We have learned to communicate in our native language and write letters and notes to each other every day. I can not begin to tell you how much it means to me to be in touch with my culture in this wonderful way. I never in my life thought I would be able to learn my people's language and use it in daily activities! I feel as though I have found a part of myself that I thought was lost forever. Thanks to this wonderful game and easy method of learning, my family has regained a part of their culture that would have been lost forever.

HINT: To hear the words spoken clearly try typing a letter that is not in the word (you may have to press it twice).
