This book from Access Navajo (a majority Navajo-owned publisher) is intended to help create an environment in which you can have fun while improving your Navajo verb conjugation skills. One hundred and twenty-five verbs have been carefully selected for their usefulness in daily life and their relevance to Navajo culture. A full conjugation is given in up to seven modes for each verb, along with meanings and usage, conjugation patterns, a component breakdown, and more. To help increase the fun factor in learning to conjugate Navajo verbs, the book can be used in coordination with a software game available at no cost on the company's website (www.accessnavajo.com). The game can be played online in simplified form or downloaded for a more complete experience. A different subset of the verbs from the book is provided each month in the downloadable version. You can play just for fun, play for points and bonus points, play against the clock, play against an opponent, and strategize about how to achieve a maximum number of points in a given amount of time. The book, in conjunction with the software game and descriptive videos on the Access Navajo YouTube channel, can turn the complex internal patterns of Navajo verbs into a source of great enjoyment. The trickier the verb, the more fun it is to conjugate!

Tsoodzil, which is Book 2 in the Fun With Navajo Verbs series from Access Navajo, provides another 125 useful verbs carefully selected for their usefulness in daily life and their relevance to Navajo culture. As in Book 1, each verb is conjugated in up to seven modes. At least two sample sentences written by a knowledgeable native speaker are given for each verb, as well as a conjugation combination, full stem set, breakdown of classifier, inner and outer prefixes and objects, and more. Content themes include reflexive verbs (such as na'�dinitin: to teach oneself), verbs relating to getting around by various forms of transportation (horse, motor vehicle, boat, airplane), and a number of abstract verbs relating to mental processes (to pretend to be, to turn oneself into, to change one's mind, to have in mind), to name just a few. A full set of handling verbs expressing the idea of saving various items has also been provided. There is a special section on the inherent patterns of Navajo verb stem sets. Three simple patterns and a few simple rules make it possible to organize a typical set of five verb stems and master the whole set in one fell swoop, instead of having to learn each stem one by one. Enhance your ability to conjugate Navajo verbs by learning complete stem sets -- why crawl along when you can run! As with Book 1, there is also a software game that can be downloaded from the AccessNavajo.com website at no charge (requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE(TM)) which can be downloaded from Oracle(TM) free of charge). Have fun learning Navajo verbs by coordinating the book and game into your study program today!
