A Good Start
6 Sep 2005
As a student of various languages, I have always been intrigued by the languages of South Africa; in particular, their click consonants. I was looking for resources in Xhosa, and instead came across this book. Zulu, I have been told (and can affirm), is easier than Xhosa. This book begins with a decent introduction to Zulu's phonology and orthography; but I think it could have been more detailed and with more examples (especially on the CDs). The course is decently structured and seems to cater to both serious students and casual students (ie, those going to South Africa or a neighbouring country). It goes beyond the language itself, into topics such as some aspects of the Zulu people's culture. This book is a great reference for beginners of Zulu; and worth the price.

Decent book, be careful to buy the one with the audio!

I've just gotten into the book, and it seems fine to me. Definitely a beginners book, but that's what I wanted. I was under the impression it came with a cassette or CD (the book even refers to listening excercises on the cassette), but this one doesn't come with it. There is another item on Amazon (same book or at least the same general title and authors) that says Audiopackage specifically in the title - buy that one.
