This week you will read the two texts, Booqasho dugsi kale and Maroodi, originating from Somali schoolbooks.

You can find the two texts in Beginner's Somali Reader, Casharka 14aad, Akhris.

There are also downloadable mp3 files in DropBox.

There is no wordlist for this text. Instead, you have to practice using a dictionary, such as Qaamuus Af Soomaali or a printed dictionary. If you run into difficulties, you can always ask your fellow students in the Questions & Answers discussion forum. If you feel that a certain word is missing in Qaamuus Af Soomaali, please point that out in the Errors & Improvements discussion forum, and I will add it to the dictionary.
