Thoughts on this af-somali book?

[Khaem]

Seen this on amazon, is it worth anything reading?
I'm afraid to waste 24 quid on a mere 346 page book.

Only one left, hurry up and buy it! before I do

Just listen to Qaaraami music and Dhaanto to learn proper Somali. You can figure out the meaning of most words using context, granted you're not full blown hooyo mataalo.

I can understand day to day somali. My speaking is a bit off but I find that if I read it out I'm pretty decent. I just can't really form sentences in my head like that yet.

I've had random people come up to me on the streets and speak af Somali and I can understand what they're trying to tell me but I respond in English.

damn that's terrible, no offense.
In that case, this book or any book for that matter will be useless. Save up a bit and go to jabuuti for 3 months. You'll be back 1000% better since you'll be forced to communicated in af soomaali the whole time.

I've noticed this is more in common in the UK/USA/Canada, the parents speak English at home and the children suffer in the future.

I learnt Habashi and Oromo due to my time in Addis as a child but thankfully that shit wore off quick due to English, I always spoke Somali with my Macooyo.
