Chinyanja, the principal language of Malawi, is spoken not only in that country but by large numbers of Malawians in neighboring countries. This book is intended to give the student a start in the language, both by providing him with materials for study, and by guiding him in taking over more and more of the responsibilities connected with language learning. The goal is ability to speak a little Chinyanja well, and ability to learn as much more of it as is needed for individual work situations in Malawi.
The present volume is one of a series of short Basic Courses in selected African Languages, prepared by the Foreign Service Institute- It was produced in cooperation with the Peace Corps,
Many collaborators contributed to the lessons, Antonio Boutcha, Zimani Kadzamira, Mike Mbvundula, and Isaac Mputeni supplied tape recorded samples of Chinyanja. These and the related exercise materials were checked by Mr. Mbvundula, and also by Dearson Bandawe, Alex KalindawalofSamson Lwanda, Justin Malewezi, Cikungwa Mseka, and Emilio Msoke, Voicing of the tapes was by Messrs. Msоке, Lwanda, and Malewe2i, Mrs, Linda Hollander assisted with production and checking of an earlier version.
General organizing, editing, and preparation of notes were the responsibility of Earl W, Stevick. Assembling and editing of the tapes owed much to special techniques developed by Gabriel Cordova, Director of the Institute's Language Laboratory.
