Lakhótiya Wóglaka Po! - Speak Lakota! is a Lakota language textbook designed for elementary school use and self-study. Developed by leading Lakota language authorities and linguists, the textbook is the first linguistically and pedagogically consistent textbook in Lakota and the start of the series. It features a detailed teacher's guide; which incorporates all major vocabulary variants, numerous lesson activities and games while contextualizing the vocabulary though images and illustrations.
The Level 4 Textbook is the latest and most advanced edition of the Speak Lakota! series. It reviews and builds on vocabulary from Levels 1-3, while expanding into more complex grammatical areas.
