Study Path
One route through the language.
Work through the lessons in order. Each one assumes the previous lesson and opens directly into the next part of the system.
- Lesson 1: Sounds, Spelling, and Legal Shapes
Learn the phoneme inventory, one-to-one orthography, syllable structure, and predictable stress.
- Lesson 2: Roots by Position and Basic SOV Order
Use category-flexible roots in sentence slots and build the core SOV clause pattern.
- Lesson 3: Verb Morphology
Add tense, mood, and negation to roots in the fixed verbal suffix order.
- Lesson 4: Noun Phrases, Pronouns, and Possession
Build noun phrases with modifier-before-head order, optional plural, pronouns, and suru predicates.
- Lesson 5: Postpositions for Space, Time, and Relations
Use the postposition system for location, motion, time, means, comparison, cause, and recipients.
- Lesson 6: Compounds, Classifiers, and Particles
Build new vocabulary with head-final compounds, classifier suffixes, and the particle system.
- Lesson 7: Questions and Everyday Interaction
Ask yes/no questions with kas, use po-forms in the slot of the unknown, and handle basic conversational replies.
- Lesson 8: Relative Clauses, Complements, Coordination, and Giving
Combine earlier material into longer clauses with re, ra, brackets, coordinators, and ditransitive order.
