CHAPTER 5 APPENDIX N TO CHAPTER 5 LEARNER'S SYNOPSIS OF SWAHILI (with John Indakwa and John Thiuri)

The content of this appendix is taken from materials prepared for use at the Foreign Service Institute. The original experimental edition was completed in 1967, but the material has been completely rewritten in 1971.

The general purpose of the synopsis is to enable people to retain some orientation to the forest while they are contemplating several of the larger trees. To this end, we have given the same description twice: once in continuous prose form (reproduced here in its entirety), and once with examples and self-testing frames. only a few selections of this second, rather bulky presentation are given here.
