Grundkurs Bambara (Manding) mit Texten

Author: Raimund Kastenholz. Series edited by: Wilhelm J.G. Möhlig †, Bernd Heine.

Series: Study Books of African Languages Volume 1

The 2nd, revised edition of the Elementary Bambara Course provides the learner with the basic knowledge of the structure of Bambara (Manding), an important lingua franca of West Africa and one of the national languages of Mali. The variant used in the manual is the standardized form which is based on the dialect of Bamako, the capital of Mali.

The lessons are divided into a grammatical part, the vocabulary and an exercise and translation part. An appendix with Bambara texts and an index of the vocabulary encourage independent reading. In combination with the exercise book and the reading book Bambara (see links below), this course is primarily intended for language instruction at universities, but it is equally suitable for self-instruction.

The elementary course is available together with an exercise book and together with an exercise and reading book at a reduced price, see links below:
