イランカラㇷ゚テ, irankarapte! Finally back after two months! In this lesson, we will look into copular statements and questions, as well as imperative sentences. Tune in next time for... whatever topic is next! No commitments on a specific agenda next time, but expect to see more in about a month!

The Ainu language (aynu=itak in Ainu or アイヌ語 in Japanese) is indigenous to northern Japan, and is now most associated with Hokkaido. In this course, we will focus on the Saru dialect of the language, spoken in Nibutani.

Pronunciation audio has been borrowed from the ニューエクスプレス (New Express) Ainu language textbook, voiced by Kenji, Maki, and Maya Sekine, as well as from the 2018 STV Radio Ainu Course, also voiced by Kenji and Maya.
