Hausa is the major language of the northern region of Nigeria. It is also used widely in commerce and trade in large areas of west Africa. Hausa is genetically related to such well-known languages as ancient hieroglyphic Egyptian, Assyro-Babylonian, Hebrew, and Arabic, as well as to others less familiar but also of importance, such as Amharic and Somali.The course teaches the basic phonology and language and provides a good basic vocabulary. Instruction is centered on basic sentences, notes, and drills. The recordings include the basic sentences and drills of the units, as well as the supplementary conversations that follow the units. The course assumes the student has no prior knowledge of Hausa and is fully self-instructional. Volume I contains 15 CDs and a 419 page textbook or 1 DVD with all lessons on MP3 with the textbook in a PDF file format. .
