Is anyone here learning Cherokee? I took classes for a year, took a year off, and plan on signing up again. Would anyone like to join me and use this thread for practice?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ani, I have a question about your name.
Niawana (nah-ah-wah-nah)
did not pronounce my name correctly, but instead called me Neawana (nee-ah-wah-nah)
"i" is pronounced "ee" in Tsalagi...so how? I would have pronounced it the second way as well due to my lessons.
BTW, I'm Kawenu (Kawoni...I've seen it both ways) Unitsi. Literally translated from English it would be Etsi Kawenu, but only seven wee ones can call me that LOL!

So far I can't find anything on the name. One person online was told it means "little deer" (one person told another, told another, told another...you get the picture), but "little deer" (and even I knew this) is awi usdi.
I'll keep looking.

Gigagei Tsula I discovered that this could simply be Tsula also.
fox (common red) tsula
fox (black) inali
So another question, just because I know that I have multiple names that cause a practical identity crisis, especially when someone asks me my name and I start stuttering ("which one do I give them?!" birth, legal, shortened of both, chrismated, nick-Cherokee in English, and Cherokee LOL!)...what do you prefer to be called personally and what do you prefer on here? (the first part is as a friend) Ani, Niawana, Tsula?

I prefer Ani. That's what everyone calls me on here.
My name, Neawana, means "clothed in splendor". That much I know after researching my biological family tree. My whole family just calls me Nea.

I found The Lord's Prayer in Tsalagi! I've been looking for the Nicene Creed, but can't find a translation of it 
If you know where one is, please post it.
