Somali Language
What is the best way to improve your vocabulary? I have tried reading news articles but the language used is far too complex.
Are there like any beginner level books you can get on ebay or something ?

Re: Somali Language
I remember I had this book in my house along with a somali dictionary. It is okay, but it is standard somali, which nobody speaks so you end up sounding like a moron.

Re: Somali Language
Narcsissit,
As Helwaa said, just talk to other Somalis specially your parents if they speak Somali. The best way is to practice...What was the proverb? Practice makes perfect
Ganjaweed,
You know perfect Somali
Good for you...
