Product Info Reviews

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Dictionary of IDIOMATIC expressions, nothing more
Review: as above, it serves its purpose if that's what you want

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good for intermediate or advanced students
Review: This book is a good source on idioms in Navajo, and it also has lots of example sentences illustrating the idioms (as well as illustrating all sort of other things on the way). This should be quite useful to intermediate and advanced students.

However, this is /not/ for beginning students -- they will find this book basically unusable.

I advise beginning students to buy Goossen's intro book (/Dine Bizaad/), and to buy one or both of the other big Navajo dictionaries (/Analytical Lexicon of Navajo/ and /The Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary/, both by Young and Morgan).
