Any questions or protests about the pronunciation of a word(s) or the running of the contests must be referred to the officials immediately.</li><li>No protest will be entertained after the contest has ended.</li><li>For each contest there will be an arbiter whose duty is to hear any protests as they arise and decide on them before the contest continues. The arbiter’s decision shall be final.  If possible, each contest should be videotaped or recorded by officials so that any point of contention may be reviewed.</li><li>This competition is open to all band members that have registered before <strong>October 25, 2020.</strong></li><li>In competition, all phrases will be randomly selected from the official monthly language sets compiled by Deshkan Ziibiing. The official list is the final authority for the competition meaning we acknowledge different ways and dialects of saying things in the language however for competitive reasons responses must stay true to the official 8 language sets provided throughout the Anishaabemowin Speaking Challenge.</li><li>The competition will be oral; contestants must be willing to stand up in front of a crowd and answer the questions given to them.</li><li>Contestants will listen to a judge read out in English one of the official monthly phrases. The contestant will then have 20 seconds to respond with translating that phrase into Anishnaabemowin.</li><li>The Time-Keeper must set the 20 second alarm following the English phrase read aloud.</li><li>Once a contestant has begun to say the phrase, he or she may not ask for the phrase to be repeated by the judge.</li><li>Officials may disqualify any contestant whose speaking of a phrase is not audible to the judges and therefore deemed incorrect.</li><li>When a contestant fails to translate a phrase correctly, the next contestant in the same round will be given the same phrase to say.</li></ol><p><strong>TIE-BREAKER ROUNDS ONLY</strong></p><ol><li>The elimination procedure changes when the number of contestants is reduced to two. At this point, when one contestant fails to translate the phrase correctly, the other contestant will be given the opportunity to translate the same phrase.</li><li>If the second contestant says the phrase correctly, plus the next phrase given by the judges, he or she will be declared the champion. If the contestant also translates it incorrectly, both contestants continue on with the contest until one is eliminated.</li><li>If this process continues past 15 minutes the two remaining contestants will be asked a phrase in Anishnaabemowin from a judge and will have 10 seconds to respond in Anishinaabemowin. This will continue until there is only one winner.</li></ol><p><strong>LET’S BE SUCCESSFUL – TIPS &amp; SUGGESTION!</strong></p><p>Involve your entire family, friends, and community by practicing and using the language as much as possible throughout the day.</p><p>Host language nights for family and friends to practice, play games, and challenge each other.</p><p>Spread the word!  Use FB as a tool to practice Anishinaabemowin.  Create short videos or write posts using our language sets.  The more people seeing and hearing the language, the more familiar it becomes and the easier it will be for us all to replace English with Anishinaabemowin.</p><p>Spend at least 15 minutes a day listening or practicing the language sets.  Visit <a href=\"http://www.chippewalanguage.com\">www.chippewalanguage.com</a> or Quizlet to test and track individual progress.</p><p>Attend <strong>Anishinaabemowin Lunch and Learn </strong>being held every Tuesday and Thursday beginning October 1, 2020 at Enji Maajtaawaad Early Years.  There are two sessions to meet staggered staff lunches. 12:30 - 1:30pm (session 1) and 1:30pm - 2:30pm (session 2)</p>		\n			<h3>Deshkan Ziibiing</h3>		\n			<h4>our teachings are Embedded in anishinaabemowin</h4>','Speakers Challenge Page','','publish','closed','closed','','speakers-challenge-page-2','','','2020-09-24 11:22:57','2020-09-24 15:22:57','',0,'https://chippewalanguage.com/?elementor_library=speakers-challenge-page-2',0,'elementor_library','',0),(1709,1,'2020-09-24 11:22:57','2020-09-24 15:22:57','','Speakers Challenge Page','','inherit','closed','closed','','1708-revision-v1','','','2020-09-24 11:22:57','2020-09-24 15:22:57','',1708,'https://chippewalanguage.com/2020/09/24/1708-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1710,1,'2020-09-24 11:22:57','2020-09-24 15:22:57','<h3>\"The Only way to start learning the language is to start speaking the language\"</h3>		\n			<h4>Enji Maajtaawaad - Where they start</h4>		\n			<h3>Aanii & welcome to the 2020/21 Speakinng challenge now open</h3>		\n			<h3>Carefully read all contest rules and take a note of important dates</h3>		\n			<h1>Open to all Chippewas of the Thames registered members</h1>		\n			<h2>First Word Set Released October 1, 2020</h2>		\n			 Days Hours Minutes Seconds		\n			<h2>Register with the online form below or upload  and print the PDF form here</h2>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						Click here\n					</a>\n		[wpforms id=\"1580\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]		\n				<h3>\n				</h3>\n								<p>On October 1, 2020 all registered participants will have access to the 1st of 8 language sets.

Any questions or protests about the pronunciation of a word(s) or the running of the contests must be referred to the officials immediately.</li><li>No protest will be entertained after the contest has ended.</li><li>For each contest there will be an arbiter whose duty is to hear any protests as they arise and decide on them before the contest continues. The arbiter’s decision shall be final.  If possible, each contest should be videotaped or recorded by officials so that any point of contention may be reviewed.</li><li>This competition is open to all band members that have registered before <strong>October 25, 2020.</strong></li><li>In competition, all phrases will be randomly selected from the official monthly language sets compiled by Deshkan Ziibiing. The official list is the final authority for the competition meaning we acknowledge different ways and dialects of saying things in the language however for competitive reasons responses must stay true to the official 8 language sets provided throughout the Anishaabemowin Speaking Challenge.</li><li>The competition will be oral; contestants must be willing to stand up in front of a crowd and answer the questions given to them.</li><li>Contestants will listen to a judge read out in English one of the official monthly phrases. The contestant will then have 20 seconds to respond with translating that phrase into Anishnaabemowin.</li><li>The Time-Keeper must set the 20 second alarm following the English phrase read aloud.</li><li>Once a contestant has begun to say the phrase, he or she may not ask for the phrase to be repeated by the judge.</li><li>Officials may disqualify any contestant whose speaking of a phrase is not audible to the judges and therefore deemed incorrect.</li><li>When a contestant fails to translate a phrase correctly, the next contestant in the same round will be given the same phrase to say.</li></ol><p><strong>TIE-BREAKER ROUNDS ONLY</strong></p><ol><li>The elimination procedure changes when the number of contestants is reduced to two. At this point, when one contestant fails to translate the phrase correctly, the other contestant will be given the opportunity to translate the same phrase.</li><li>If the second contestant says the phrase correctly, plus the next phrase given by the judges, he or she will be declared the champion. If the contestant also translates it incorrectly, both contestants continue on with the contest until one is eliminated.</li><li>If this process continues past 15 minutes the two remaining contestants will be asked a phrase in Anishnaabemowin from a judge and will have 10 seconds to respond in Anishinaabemowin. This will continue until there is only one winner.</li></ol><p><strong>LET’S BE SUCCESSFUL – TIPS &amp; SUGGESTION!</strong></p><p>Involve your entire family, friends, and community by practicing and using the language as much as possible throughout the day.</p><p>Host language nights for family and friends to practice, play games, and challenge each other.</p><p>Spread the word!  Use FB as a tool to practice Anishinaabemowin.  Create short videos or write posts using our language sets.  The more people seeing and hearing the language, the more familiar it becomes and the easier it will be for us all to replace English with Anishinaabemowin.</p><p>Spend at least 15 minutes a day listening or practicing the language sets.  Visit <a href=\"http://www.chippewalanguage.com\">www.chippewalanguage.com</a> or Quizlet to test and track individual progress.</p><p>Attend <strong>Anishinaabemowin Lunch and Learn </strong>being held every Tuesday and Thursday beginning October 1, 2020 at Enji Maajtaawaad Early Years.  There are two sessions to meet staggered staff lunches. 12:30 - 1:30pm (session 1) and 1:30pm - 2:30pm (session 2)</p>		\n			<h3>Deshkan Ziibiing</h3>		\n			<h4>our teachings are Embedded in anishinaabemowin</h4>','Speakers Challenge Page','','inherit','closed','closed','','1708-revision-v1','','','2020-09-24 11:22:57','2020-09-24 15:22:57','',1708,'https://chippewalanguage.com/2020/09/24/1708-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1712,1,'2020-09-24 13:10:40','2020-09-24 17:10:40','<h1>Breathing our language into existence</h1>		\n			<h1>A Place to learn</h1>		\n			<h1>Anishinaabemowin</h1>		\n				<h3>\n					Language Challenge\n				</h3>\n								<p>Contests & Prizes</p>\n			<a href=\"http://chippewalanguage.com/language-challenge/\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n						Click here\n					</a>\n				<h3>\n					Community Culture Events\n				</h3>\n								<p>Check our calendar</p>\n			<a href=\"http://chippewalanguage.com/events/\" role=\"button\">\n						Click here\n					</a>\n				<h3>\n					Volunteers &amp; Members?\n				</h3>\n								<p>Help us grow</p>\n			<a href=\"http://chippewalanguage.com/members/\" role=\"button\">\n						Click here\n					</a>\n				<h3>\n					Word of the week\n				</h3>\n								<p>Learn Anishinaabemowin</p>\n			<a href=\"http://Chippewalanguage.com/word-sets/\" role=\"button\">\n						Click here\n					</a>\n			<h2>Aanii, Boozhoo kina wiya,  ni gchinendaamin maa eyaayin!</h2>		\n			<h2>[Hello, Greetings everyone, we are happy you are here!]</h2>		\n			<h2>We are all members of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation.

The arbiter’s decision shall be final.  If possible, each contest should be videotaped or recorded by officials so that any point of contention may be reviewed.</li><li>This competition is open to all band members that have registered before <strong>October 25, 2020.</strong></li><li>In competition, all phrases will be randomly selected from the official monthly language sets compiled by Deshkan Ziibiing. The official list is the final authority for the competition meaning we acknowledge different ways and dialects of saying things in the language however for competitive reasons responses must stay true to the official 8 language sets provided throughout the Anishaabemowin Speaking Challenge.</li><li>The competition will be oral; contestants must be willing to stand up in front of a crowd and answer the questions given to them.</li><li>Contestants will listen to a judge read out in English one of the official monthly phrases. The contestant will then have 20 seconds to respond with translating that phrase into Anishnaabemowin.</li><li>The Time-Keeper must set the 20 second alarm following the English phrase read aloud.</li><li>Once a contestant has begun to say the phrase, he or she may not ask for the phrase to be repeated by the judge.</li><li>Officials may disqualify any contestant whose speaking of a phrase is not audible to the judges and therefore deemed incorrect.</li><li>When a contestant fails to translate a phrase correctly, the next contestant in the same round will be given the same phrase to say.</li></ol><p><strong>TIE-BREAKER ROUNDS ONLY</strong></p><ol><li>The elimination procedure changes when the number of contestants is reduced to two. At this point, when one contestant fails to translate the phrase correctly, the other contestant will be given the opportunity to translate the same phrase.</li><li>If the second contestant says the phrase correctly, plus the next phrase given by the judges, he or she will be declared the champion. If the contestant also translates it incorrectly, both contestants continue on with the contest until one is eliminated.</li><li>If this process continues past 15 minutes the two remaining contestants will be asked a phrase in Anishnaabemowin from a judge and will have 10 seconds to respond in Anishinaabemowin.

At this point, when one contestant fails to translate the phrase correctly, the other contestant will be given the opportunity to translate the same phrase.</li><li>If the second contestant says the phrase correctly, plus the next phrase given by the judges, he or she will be declared the champion. If the contestant also translates it incorrectly, both contestants continue on with the contest until one is eliminated.</li><li>If this process continues past 15 minutes the two remaining contestants will be asked a phrase in Anishnaabemowin from a judge and will have 10 seconds to respond in Anishinaabemowin. This will continue until there is only one winner.</li></ol><p><strong>LET’S BE SUCCESSFUL – TIPS &amp; SUGGESTION!</strong></p><p>Involve your entire family, friends, and community by practicing and using the language as much as possible throughout the day.</p><p>Host language nights for family and friends to practice, play games, and challenge each other.</p><p>Spread the word!  Use FB as a tool to practice Anishinaabemowin.  Create short videos or write posts using our language sets.  The more people seeing and hearing the language, the more familiar it becomes and the easier it will be for us all to replace English with Anishinaabemowin.</p><p>Spend at least 15 minutes a day listening or practicing the language sets.  Visit <a href=\"http://www.chippewalanguage.com\">www.chippewalanguage.com</a> or Quizlet to test and track individual progress.</p><p>Live Zoom classes will be held every Thursday at 12pm.
