Tlingit Language

So I have been reconnecting with my Native Alaskan roots. The Tlingit language is crazy! It has 4 sounds that are not in any other language. So much of it is said in the throat and the back of my tongue that those parts of my mouth are tired and sore from practicing!

Here is the Tlingit phrases that I am trying to learn for the day: Gunalchéesh áyá yáa yee tula.aaní. It means, "Thank you all for your friendship."

That is really cool, Jessica! Hebrew is hard for the same reason, although I haven't practiced that in a while. I think it's awesome that you're learning.
