According to information on the Internet, speaking Cherokee could be good for your health.

Native to Africa, this fruit (Citrullis lanatus) has spread around the world. It was cultivated by ancient Egyptians more than three thousand years ago, and watermelon seeds were found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen.

In Cherokee language, say "Etsi," for "Mother" when you are speaking directly to your mother. If you are talking about her or someone else's mother, you can be very specific. In Cherokee, there are four ways to say "Our mother" depending on exactly whose mother she is.

Level 2 students taking the Your Grandmother's Cherokee course in Cherokee, N.C., have just mastered the FUTURE tense. For example, "I will go to Asheville" = Tokiasdi dagesi. They passed their exam with A's and B's. Way to go!
