Tämän kirjan tarkoitus on polkaista inarinsaamen opiskelusi käyntiin! Kirjan aiheina on arkipäiväisiä tilanteita ja niihin liittyvää keskeistä sanastoa, mutta myös kielioppia, jotta pääset alusta lähtien tutustumaan kielen rakenteeseen.Kielakyeimi sisältää lukioasteen inarinsaamen vieraan kielen kurssien 1-2 opetuskokonaisuudet. Aihepiirit ovat nykyaikaisia, mutta kietovat sisälleen vanhan inarinsaamelaisen kulttuurin.

sisältää monipuolisia harjoituksia tekstikirjan kappaleita varten. Harjoitukset pyrkivät ohjaamaan kielenoppijaa huomaamaan kielen säännönmukaisuuksia sanaston ja sanontojen harjoittelun ohella.

The book tells the story of the Indigenous Aanaar Saami language (around 350 speakers) and cultural revitalisation in Finland. It offers a new language revitalisation method that can be used with Indigenous and minority languages, especially in cases where the native language has been lost among people of a working age. The book gives practical examples as well as a theoretical frame of reference for how to plan, organise and implement an intensive language programme for adults who already have professional training. It is the first time that a process of revitalisation of a very small language has been systematically described from the beginning; it is a small-scale success story. The book finishes with self-reflection and cautious recommendations for Indigenous peoples and minorities who want to revive or revitalise their languages.
