This book was a great resource as a teenager when I was on my journey to being fluent in Igbo. The vast diversity of words is great even though it is written in Central Igbo dialect. It had the correct punctuations for Igbo vowels( uda ume) which was very useful. The only concern I have about this book is that it did not print the symbols for tone marking( uda ala/uda elu for low/high tones). That is probably one of the most important parts of the language and a beginner can get lost without them. I had other Igbo learning resources so it was not too big of a deal.
