Why Learn Ojibwe?
The Ojibwe language is native to North America, and one of the primary languages of the Algonquian family. In Canada, Ojibwe is the second-most prominent First Nations language (after Cree). Across the border in the United States, Ojibwe is spoken by Native Americans in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Montana. Several dialects of Ojibwe exist, and the language is considered a relatively “healthy” First Nations language, in terms of native speakers, instruction, and near-future viability.
If you learn to speak Ojibwe, you’ll gain unique insight into one of North America’s most historic Native American tongues. Some Pimsleur customers learn Ojibwe to have the ability to converse with friends or relatives who use the language. Others simply want to expand their cultural knowledge.

Speak Ojibwe with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Ojibwe. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Ojibwe language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
