3.0 out of 5 stars
Not a preferred dialect...forward says from Central Owerri Province,
By Leslie (Farmington Hills, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Igbo Basic Course (Paperback)
Foreign Service Institute Igbo Basic Course Digital Cd ROM Version (Foreign Service Institute African Language Series)
The course is so thorough that native speakers were originally impressed. One teased that if everything in that [thick] book was learned, the language would be known better than he knew it himself. Unfortunately, in going through the audio and pronounciation guides with me...I was unanimously told that the dialect being taught is not the mainstream dialect, and though people from the region this course represents have no trouble understanding the mainstream...the mainstream can have quite a bit of difficulty when trying to understand them. I was basically advised to put the course on a shelf. (And I did...because I do not see the point in putting forth the effort to learn a languange only to have it be in a regional dialect that even the native speakers do not hold the patience to try to figure out.) |
