A very belated response to Harold Ormsby regarding Audio-Forum. I can
only speak about their Navajo materials which are fine. In fact, the
_Breakthrough Navajo_ text and tapes are the ones which were used in my
first semester of Navajo at the University of New Mexico--Gallup branch
campus taught by a Navajo instructor whose name I forget.
Different texts were used at the main University of New Mexico campus,
but what I've seen of Audio-Forum's stuff on Navajo, it's solid
material. The tapes are recorded by Native speakers.
