Thanks for the update and I have been hit with the same problems trying to sell my house this year. People just can't get financed. I can suggest 2 options as well with 1 being more appealing especially more so than the editing each page. They make hand scanners but that would require buying one and you would have to drag it across each page to let it scan. Alternately and probably the best way is to hold the book as it scans and crop any dark edges if necessary. If you hold it near the binding so that the page being scanned is flat then you would not need to do any editing. I wish I could scan them for you. I have 3 books actually from my first trip to Uganda. 2 are quite small and are more or less quick reference books. The other is The Essentials of Luganda which is quite in depth. I have not finished going through it. My sister-in-law bought them for me on my first visit to meet the family. I want a more structured way to learn the language which is why I think a book with the audio I downloaded would help me with the tones and pronunciations.

I saw one for sale (quite expensively I might add) that says it includes an MP3 audio CD. I suspect (but not sure) it is the same files I downloaded from the Indiana University site. The link is here I do see now that the link from FSI points to the page that allowed me to download the book. For those searching like I was that link is here
So with that link I have the PDF of the book. I have the audio and the other course book. I am prepared now to study. I hope these links and the ones below help.
Additionally I found
a primer on Luganda
basic grammar
phrase book

There is supposed to be audio. This is a quote from page V (or 5 for those who do not recognize the Roman numeral)
"An essential part of the program is the series of tape recordings that accompany this book."
Unfortunately the ones I downloaded from the University of Indiana site is for the Uganda Basic Course book, not the pretraining book. It looks like I will need to continue searching. Any leads would be appreciated.

Hi Gerako,
Let me check out the text that is here on this site. It's interesting that you got the audio for the pre-training course but not the text, as I searched everywhere for the audio and couldn't find it. --Poetry |

I do have the text for the pretraining as I posted the link for that earlier. I also have the text for the basic course that follows it as well as the audio for the basic course. I am in need of and searching for the audio for the pretraining course. I am finding (like you have apparently) that finding it is not an easy task.

I think the answer to this is in the first pages of the Pre-Training book. It was designed not as a course, but as a set of instructor-led exercises. I don't think there were ever language tapes with it. I know that I've searched everywhere and couldn't find anything.

Are we talking about the same book because the book I have says otherwise. You can get the pdf I found from this location
Please take a look and see if it is the same one you have and are talking about.

Hi Gerako,
Yes, it is the same book/course. And you're right, the mention is that there are tapes that accompany it. I think they may be lost. However, I also think that they can be reconstructed from the book. --Poetry Edited by Poetry - 28 October 2008 at 1:20am |
