Lesson 3
Read along in Dieri!
One of the best ways to learn a language is to speak it regularly with others. While we can’t do that in these lessons, we can practise reading in Dieri!
Using what you remember of Dieri words, sentences and pronunciation try to read the below passage aloud. After you attempt to read each sentence, test your pronunciation against the recording and try to guess what what the sentence means.
