lipu sona mi pi toki pona

hi! welcome to my toki pona course!

i first made this course to teach my girlfriend toki pona, because i disagree with other courses on many small and big things and i didn't want to have to correct the courses while fae was going through them.

however, i put a lot of work into this course, so i figured i may as well also put it out online for anyone else to use!

i tried my best to do a good compromise between my personal style and the style of pu, and i think it should be a good starting point for anyone interested in learning toki pona. ultimately, it's up to you to form your own style after you're done with this course.

notes

this course will not make you fluent. no course out there will! toki pona may be minimalist, but it's still a complex language to learn. people spend several years before they even start considering themselves fluent, and you will probably be no different.

however, this course will give you a good understanding of all the important fundamentals of toki pona, so you can then go on to explore the language on your own.

the recommended way to use this course is to try your best to understand the grammar, do the exercises, and then move on to the next one when you feel comfortable with the grammar.

it's okay if you don't have all the vocabulary memorized yet, it'll come with practicing making and translating sentences.

it's okay to make mistakes during and after this course - everyone does!

at times i tried making too many exercises rather than too few. if there are too many for you, feel free to not do all of them, or do them at a later time!

if you have any questions or feedback feel free to message me on discord (soweli Tesa#5356)

if you need help with understanding anything, also feel free to message me, or ask other proficient speakers about it!
