Good morning all, I'm looking for a Somali class online. CC level or non-credit would be nice as I don't need the class for credit. Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry but I don't understand what your asking for. A class from a Somali university? Somali history? Somali literature?
Somali the language. I have been searching for him, but have found nothing. Tons of resources for Swahili (which I may learn one day) and even a few for Zulu, but alas, I have found nothing remotely useful for Somali. I'll keep trying. Note, my research suggests that English, Arabic and a variant of Swahili enjoy wide use in Somalia. Are you planning on going there? Language Learning with Livemocha | Learn a Language Online - Free! is the best free language resource I have found anywhere and is something I use myself. Alas again, nothing for Somali.
Ohio has Samali language classes. You might email the department ask ask your question. Somali Language
Wow, this is very cool! Thanks for the link. As for learning Somali online, perhaps this resource will work: Learn Somali Online - Write or Speak in Somali Language Exchange. I know nothing about this site, but supposedly it received a positive write up in WSJ, albeit this was eight years ago. Best, Tom
Thank you very much for your help, guys! I suspected that it wouldn't be easy to find a formal class for Somali online. Swahili is a different story because it's an African lingua franca with many speakers in comparatively well-to-do countries. Maniac, I'm not planning to go to Somalia, my interest is purely academic. I work in language assessment and have been involved in some Somali projects. I'm just interested in the language.
