This is a handy sized and very useful dictionary. It gives the Somali word in English letters, so it's easy to use.

Northern Dialect
15 Jan 2007
By M. Wolven
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm learning Somali in order to better communicate with recently arrived refugees in the US, most of whom are from southern Somalia. Many of the entries in this dictionary are words used in the north of Somalia and are not understood by many from the south. People from Mogadishu, Kismayo, Jilib, and Galkaayo have told me this. That said, I have found the dictionary to be useful at times and is just about the only printed Somali-English/Eng-Som dictionary I have found.

Teaching English to Somali Adults
12 Feb 2007
By Alies
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As an English teacher for Somali refugees this has been of great help. It doesn't always have all the words that we use in the US, but it does help me get the message accross. It has also has helped me understand their problems without having to always go to an interperter. It has alowed me to teach some difficult concepts when you are only panamiming. The students have really enjoyed me learnign their language. It gets me close enough to the correct pronunciation that they can correct me.
