Thanks to Demipuppet for digitizing this course. I am probably going to Tangyanika late next year to hike up Mt Kilimanjaro, and I thought it would be nice to study this course before I went. I didn't realize it had *150* units, which is just awesome.

Anyway, so far there are only nine units posted. Is that's all that was on the first disk? Are the others still being digitized? The reason I ask is that the first seven units are short and basically the same. They go through simple greetings with small variations. They have been quite easy to run through. The next two lessons have more meat, but only a little. I was wondering when there might be more lessons available.

All of the lessons have been digitized and await my time to post to the site.

Well, I'm almost through with the next batch. I'm starting Unit 13 now, and I hope to be done with Unit 16 by next week. I was right, it's meatier at this point, but they're really still introducing the ideas of the language.

So, Mr. Fellows, ninataka (more lessons). Tafadhali, niletee (more lessons). Asante, bwana.
