I can't help but chuckle each time someone refers to this book as "how to say dirty words". Actually there are no "dirty" or profane words in the Cherokee langauge. For those, you'll just have to borrow English words.

What is meant by talking trash is simply how to say everyday phrases and ask everyday questions. This book is cleverly written with humor, which always makes learning more fun.

To give a better idea of what the book is about, here are the contents:

• Basic Trash .....Saying Hello
• How To Talk Cherokee
• Applied Trash, After Hello
• Basic Need #1, Food
• Basic Need #2, Sleep (includes meeting the family)
• Basic Need #3, Money $$$$
• Basic Need #4, Getting Unlost, Etc.
• Advanced Trash - Real People
• Sports and Fishing
• Picking a Fight in Cherokee (includes finding a doctor)
• The Mystic Cherokee
• Going Shopping
• Other Useless Information
