I'm so happy I found you. I'm taking a course, to be conversational, but he's teaching numbers, colors and the calendar. I'm glad you're here, because he gave us a quiz sheet with a lot of blanks, instead of a glossary or description of the words, he wants us to know. This is a big help and I want to follow you, because you'll add words to my vocabulary, that I can use and pass on. G'chi Miigwetch.
