This language looks cool as hell. Is it difficult to learn?

  extremely so, iirc. both because of the complex agglutinative and polysynthetic grammar, and the dearth of teaching material.

      The basic jist is that Ojibwe (and many American languages) have very long, complex words that are formed in a much different way to English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxARj07jFp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxARj07jFp0

  The writing system (Syllabics) is quite simple [1]. The languages that use the writing systems, like Inuktitut, Cree, Ojibwe, and Oji-Cree (aka Severn Ojibwe; the language in the article) are not related to English and are difficult to find comprehensive resources for online. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW4hI_METac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW4hI_METac
