BEGINNER'S PACKET

In 2005, at the Annual Comanche General Council meeting, a "Learning To Speak Comanche" Project developed by the Comanche Language and Cultural Preservation Committee was presented and voted to go on the ballot for a referendum vote.  It passed and the project was implemented during 2006 and concluded in 2009.

This project developed a "Beginner's Packet" that is a self-teaching method of learning Comanche. 

The Beginner's Packet contains a revised 2010 Comanche Dictionary, a Comanche Sounds & Spelling System DVD, a Picture Dictionary with CD and a set of three Flash Cards with accompanying CD.  The CDs allow you to hear the words spoken as you see them written down. 

The Sounds & Spelling System DVD is the most important language tool in the packet.  You will need to watch the 25 minute DVD over and over again until you have the vowel sounds memorized and can say them when you see them.

If you are interested in the "Beginner's Packet" and are an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation, contact us to request a packet.  You will need to provide you full name, your CDIB and current mailing address.  Because we are funded by the Tribe, you must be enrolled with a CDIB number in order for us to send this packet to you at no cost -- sorry, no exceptions.  For those who are not enrolled, you may order the Beginner's Packet for $70, which includes shipping & handling costs.

We wish you luck in your efforts to learn your language of heritage.
