Mobile apps for learners
Learn the words of the place you're from.
CHILD: Alaska Native Languages is a free app for learning nouns, common phrases, and letter sounds in Dena’ina, Lake Iliamna Yup’ik, and Alutiiq (Sugt’stun), with learning games and quizzes to practice. Built by Continua with the CHILD Grant Partnership.
About the app
Three languages, one simple place to start.
The app makes basic learning approachable in each of the three languages. Learners can start with nouns, common phrases, and letter sounds, then test themselves with learning games and quizzes.
It grew out of a collaboration with the CHILD Grant Partnership—Bristol Bay Borough, Chugach, and Lake & Peninsula School Districts—with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Indian Education.
