:) I am impressed with this website as well. Since I can download some fashionable film magazines in Hausa Language for my students. For you, it's quite easy to learn Hausa, if you need any help you may email me. ;)

Assalamu alaikum;
Abdul Azeez Raji and Suwaiba,

First of all, we like to welcome you both to Kano Online Forum. Also like to thank you Abdul Azeez Raji for asking this question and thanks to Suwaiba for the recent response to this topic.

It is also humbling for you Suwaiba to offer to help Abdul Azeez on his quest to learn Hausa. Can you please also share with us here on the Forum so that all Kano Online Forum visitors can benefit from it? We really appreciate your anticipated positive response.

Finally, we like to notify you that we have also moved this topic from the Guestbook & Feedback Board to this, the General Board where it is more likely to get higher visibility.

Thanks and Haza Wasalam,
Kano Online Forum Team.

Thank Kanoonline for pay so much attention to my response. I am a TA in Beijing Foreign Studies University, teaching Hausa Literature. When my students were freshmen and sophomore, I used to teach them speaking Hausa. For the pronunciation part, "r" is the most difficult for chinese students. others like 'k,'d,'b are hard for them as well. What's more is the intonation. Even for one word,different intonation may mean different things.

Assalaam Alaikum Suwaiba

I just like to express my appreciation to you and your type who are doing great service to our great language.

Please continue the good work and i am sure you are at the right forum (kanonline) who surely will collaborate with you and extend all assistance you may require in your hausa undertaking.

This is Dan-Sokoto.

Sannunka dan sokoto. ina jin farin ciki da samun amsarka. Ina nan Beijing, a wajen Nuvamba, zan ziyarci Nijeriya don kyautata Hausa tawa. Amma har yanzu ban samu wasikar gayyata daga ABU ba. wannan ya dame ni sosai. :-[

Suwaiba!

Insha Allah, za mu yi kokarin taimakon ki. A halin yanzu muna kokarin sa mun jami.ar ahmadu bello zariya a kan maganar ki. Za mu sheda ma ki abin da ake ciki.

For Fulanicious - Suwaiba from all indications is a Chineese who teaches hausa at a univeristy in Beijing China. By the Grace of God we shall assist her in her hausa endevours.

Suwaiba - I hope i am right in trying to explain to my sister Fulanicious?

Hello AbdulAzeez

You would find these websites helpful.

As regards to what books you might read, I would suggests Ibrahim Imam's Magana Jarice or
Iliya Dan Maikarfi by ?????? (some should help me out) or
(My best Hausa Text Book) Matar mutum kabarinsa by  ????? (sorry to say i cant remeber my favourite books author).
Best wishes Abdul azeez.
