I'm really enjoying this publication "Colloquial Navajo: A Dictionary." In all seriousness, it's a must for anybody wanting to learn, speak, and understand simple Navajo. I do appreciate how this book is written so as to better facilitate an individualin in absorbing some simple everyday Navajo.
good for intermediate or advanced students

This book is a good source on idioms in Navajo, and it also has lots of example sentences illustrating the idioms (as well as illustrating all sort of other things on the way). This should be quite useful to intermediate and advanced students.However, this is /not/ for beginning students -- they will find this book basically unusable.I advise beginning students to buy Goossen's intro book (/Dine Bizaad/), and to buy one or both of the other big Navajo dictionaries (/Analytical Lexicon of Navajo/ and /The Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary/, both by Young and Morgan).
