Oki! Always wanted to learn Blackfoot? You'll be able to sign up for free lessons at the Indigenous Languages Resource Centre once it opens this Saturday, Dec 14. While you wait, you can pick up some key phrases from this short video https://t.co/X9KCnsmGtX #yycindigenous

[Teacher @306Teacher]

Student: it’s too hard.
Me: learning Blackfoot is hard. What would happen if I stopped trying because it’s hard?
S: wait... you’re learning Blackfoot? Can you say (phrase)?
Me: *repeats* I can now.
S: *returns to work*
If we ask sts to do difficult things we probably should, too.
