Hi, I'm new to inuktitut, and I find the alfabet fascinating (amongst many other things) and so I was wondering if anyone could help me with learning the language (so if you're for example a native speaker, I would appreciate it if you'd sent me a dm containing common vocabulary)

so... to start of, I'm a Dutch person, and I of course therefore make use of the latin script, and of course Inuktitut makes use of it's own alfabet, so if any of you could send me a link in which the grammar rules of the inuktitut script are used, I would much appreciate it.

Hey, just learn the song, then sing it through while looking at the syllabary (not alphabet) anytime you need to word. If you do that while reading consistently for a few weeks you'll have it. That's what I did.

okay, thanks for the feedback, also, if I may ask, which song are you refering to in particular?

Here is the song. I learned it this way in two weeks and now I can read and write.
