Learn Tlingit, word by word
Step through foundational words, then practice aloud in the Pronunciation Studio. Every word is drawn from the published dictionary and awaits fluent-speaker review — this is a path toward the elders, never a replacement for them.
Themes of land, kinship & gratitude
Open a lesson to step through it. Themes still in preparation are being assembled with fluent-speaker review before they go live.
Looking for a word that isn't in a lesson yet? Search the full Tlingit dictionary — over 2,300 entries, each citing its source page.
Practice out loud
Listen to a fluent speaker, slow it down, then record yourself and compare. Your recording never leaves your device.
Listen to a fluent speaker, then record yourself and compare. Your recording stays on your device — it is never uploaded or stored. Software does not grade Tlingit; only a fluent speaker truly can. Use this to practice, then carry your words to an elder.

Your voice
These lessons await review by fluent speakers. Until a word is confirmed, hold it gently and carry it to an elder. Read the Language Data Covenant.
