Using the lyrics books, not only do you learn over 500 words in Hopi, but we also introduce proper sentence structure and Hopi pronunciation. The songs encourage Hopi speakers to use their native language with pride and stress the value of being bilingual.  

The content of the songs is distinctively Hopi and offers a glimpse into the deeper significance of Hopi life.  Songs have been at the center of Hopi culture for hundreds of years, making this learning approach attractive for people of all ages even in the modern age.  Linguists report that language is much easier to learn when placed within a familiar context, in this case song (Hinton 2001).
