The Kaska language exercises are designed to give language learners an opportunity to hear the language spoken and to practice saying the sentences and individual words. In one set of exercises, the sentences from the basic conversations appear in written form and can be heard by clicking on the sentence. This set of exercises is only available in one dialect presently, the dialect of Kaska language instructor Leda Jules, but versions in other dialects of Kaska are planned.
