Fortune George. Elements of Shona

Sixth impression. — Longman, 1983 (1965). — 308 p. — (LLT). — ISBN10: 0582612012, 13 978-0582612013.This book represents an attempt to provide people who know no Shona with a graded guide to a reasonable, if still elementary, grasp of this language. It consists of forty-two lessons, each consisting of a section of grammar, a short vocabulary, a piece of Shona, usually in dialogue form, and an exercise. The lessons have been planned to lead one to the other in a continuous move-ment, while, on the other hand, each has been made as much a unity as possible, the grammatical section being illustrated by sentences from the text and the exercise enabling new material to be digested and used at once.
