Michif lesson 2: What is that? →

sofriel: Learn fun stuff about gender, animacy, and easy verbs in Michif! You will learn to identify objects and ask what things are called. Also, I frankly have no clue at what vocabulary to include in these things. Eventually I plan to make lesson companion exercises so people can learn more vocab but if anyone has suggestions that’d be lovely.
