I'm in school and I work as well. I study numbers (finance) and I work at the school: I do administration.

I like to walk a lot, I breathe the [fresh] air.

There must be a lot of work [to do], right?
Eukuan, tshika ashteieshkushin kanapua! Minupaniti, tshe papamuteiakᵘ mamu, tshi minashtakaniti.
That's good, you'll get some rest obviously! If it works out, we'll go for a walk together next week.

Sometimes I walk alone, or I go with my dogs. I go very far. It helps me feel good and not get sick.
Ekᵘ! Niaut.
Alright! Goodbye.

But here at home, I like to cook. Not long ago, I made some homemade bread, I added raisins to it.

I don't work myself. I have a (medical) leave, because I was sick last year. I'll start again next fall.

I go out too when the weather is nice. I go through the forest. I don't live far from there. I see animals when I walk. It's really enjoyable.

Okay. I cook a lot as well, Innu food. Because I want to give some to my father, since he's a widower.
Eukuan miam. Tshika aimitin. Iame.
Okay great. I'll call you. Goodbye.
