Zulu being such a rare language this is a wonderful find. I love the way the book is laid out and how clear everything is presented, it's easy to follow. For what it's worth, if you're interested in Zulu, you can't go wrong with this book as a starter.

Having learned Zulu using DuoLingo, I know that pronunciation is challenging, with clicks, G's sounding like k's "ngo" sounding like wo etc. etc. The book has a pronunciation key in the front, which I found impossible to use, since there were no examples of what the sounds are supposed to sound like. I am not a linguist so I have no idea what the symbols under the pronunciation column mean. On the upside, the book has two dictionary sections, Zulu-English and vice versa, and a section with useful phrases. It could be a useful addition to an App that does provide auditory examples.

It is a good book and it went to the right address
