How Do You Say This in Cree?

Learn, explore, and help preserve the Cree language through phrases, audio recordings, and community contributions.

How Do You Say This in Cree? was developed to support Cree language learners of all ages. Whether you are a beginner learning your first words, a student in a Cree language class, or a fluent speaker wanting to contribute, this app provides a simple and growing collection of everyday Cree phrases.

Features:

Browse Cree Phrases
Explore phrases organized into categories such as greetings, family, people, animals, numbers, and more. Easily search for phrases and find the words you need.

Listen to Audio Recordings
Hear phrases spoken aloud to help improve pronunciation and listening skills. Audio recordings provide learners with a valuable way to hear the language as it is spoken.

Community Contributions
Users can suggest new phrases to help expand the collection. Submitted phrases are reviewed before being added, ensuring quality and accuracy while allowing the app to grow through community involvement.

Teacher and Classroom Friendly
Originally developed as a Cree language classroom project, the app supports language learning in schools, communities, and homes. Teachers can use the app as a classroom resource, while students can explore and practice independently.

Growing Language Resource
The phrase collection continues to expand as new phrases and recordings are added. The goal is to create a living language resource that reflects both traditional knowledge and everyday modern usage.

Why This App?
Language is at the heart of culture, identity, and community. This project was created to help preserve, promote, and strengthen the Cree language by making it more accessible to learners wherever they may be.

By combining technology with community knowledge, this app helps connect generations and supports the ongoing revitalization of the Cree language.

Thank you to the students, teachers, Elders, speakers, and community members whose contributions help make this project possible.

Developed in collaboration with Frog Lake Tustukeeskaws Cree 10, 20 & 30 Classes.
