 Not like other language cd's
This cd cannot be used on its own, and hardly compares to the truly professional language cd's produced by Teach Yourself or any other publisher. The publishers of Native American grammars for learning languages have completely disregarded the tried and true methods used for other languages western or nonwestern. I just can't figure out why. Lakota is no more difficult than any European language and the methodology for producing dialogs and vocabulary lessons seems to baffle the writers. The voices, however, are all very clear and give a sampling of young and old speakers, which is very nice. The book, of course, is meant for teachers to use with children, but adults with enough intestinal fortitude can use it for a basic understanding of the language. The book also uses an excellent orthography compared to White Hat's overuse of diacritic marks. Despite these shortcomings, it's important to learn Native American languages and especially to support the Lakota Language Consortium for its outstanding efforts to revive the language among the children.
 Good, if you already KNOW Lakota
I bought both CDs Level One and Level Two. It starts and goes completely through with a guy just talking in Lakota. There is NO ENGLISH at all, and nothing to look at or refer to. I was really hoping to learn Lakota, but just listening to a foreign language with nothing to LEARN the language from, is nearly impossible. If you just want to hear the language spoken, this might be for you. I am greatful Amazon caries something such as this, but as is...it is pretty useless.

I have Not had time to listen to all the CD, but the part I did hear, I like very much. Thank-you.
Speak Lakota! Level 1 Audio CD
This CD was for a teacher - someone far more advanced in the language than I am. I can see that it will be more useful when I can speak Lakota but for now it was not that helpful,
 Very poor learning tool
This audio CD cannot be used without a work book. The speakers talk in Lakota without any reference to what they are talking about. It is a shame to make such a poor tribute to a beautiful language.
