Today I am going to teach 5 different categories of nouns. This will be important for future lessons, so learn as many of them as you can and we will start discussion on them in our next lessons.

If you are trying to get back lessons please go through the steps below to get all back lessons. I would also recommend that everyone get a Cherokee syllabary chart. This chart will help you learn the phonetic system that I am using, but you will also get a chance to practice writing in Cherokee. *For new members-If you have just started receiving lessons you can go to http://www.listbot.com, click List Subscribers and enter your member information, click (View List Archives), click (Cherokee Language Lessons) and choose the back lesson that you need. .
