I appreciate the work that was put into organizing the written Somali language into a text, however for instruction - this fails to give proper understanding of the intricacies of Somali. There are quite a few words that were "translated" that can't actually be translated to English. It'd be nice if a revision were to be done on this book. Also, the latinized alphabet now is quite different than the one that is documented in this book and I struggled to read the classic prose as it was hard to read.
