Awesome work on youtube!!! Wish I could say that in Xaadaas! :) Can I make a request? AISES students travelling to the national conference need to be able to introduce themselves in Xaadaas. Could you record the proper way to introduce oneself to a group?

Saláanaa Ḵáay Sangáay! Merry Christmas! :-D
