Tlingit Conversation Documentation Project

Overview
The project team of Tlingit faculty and students at the University of Alaska Southeast and fluent Tlingit elders produced these video/audio recordings for language learners. To suggest corrections or offer comments, please email alicetaff@gmail.com. All improvements are welcomed.
Software development is underway to link the videos with scrolling time-aligned bilingual text.
