Welcome to the OAHPA! portal!
The Universitety of Tromsø makes pedagogical programs for learning North Sámi. We hope to eventually be able to offer the programs for Lule Sámi and South Sámi as well.
The OAHPA! programs are made for language learning, and they are made at the University of Tromsø. The programs are scheduled to be ready at 31.12.2008. You can test them via OAHPA main page or you can use the links on the left side.
The VISL programs are made in order to learn grammar, and they are better suited for people who already know Sámi. The VISL group at Syd-Dansk Universitet is responsible for the technique, and the University of Tromsø has added North Sámi content.
Teaching resources include generation of inflectional paradigms, dictionary, word- and text analysis, and articles treating parts of speech and sentence analysis. You find them on the left margin.
Our goal is to make it possible for the users to train everyday language. The basis for this is a set of words used in beginners' education, cf. the Oahpa-vocabulary page. But we may also make teaching material for special themes, e.g. Sámi handicraft. Contact us if you have suggestions or special needs!
Some of the resources are beta-versions, which means that they may contain errors, and that there is a potential for improvement. We are indeed open to comments! (oahpa@hum.uit.no)
