Learn Dhivehi (Maldivian Language): How To Speak Dhivehi Even If You're Not A Maldivian

by Abdul Basith

So you want to go on a trip to the Maldives but you don’t want to settle for the typical tourist experience. Or perhaps you’re already working there and you need to communicate with the locals and understand the culture a bit better. Or, it could be that you’ve married a Maldivian and you need to know what your in-laws are saying when they insist they’re not talking about you, even though they obviously are. Or maybe you just enjoy studying languages, but you’re also a total hipster who chooses only those languages that other people have “probably never heard of”. Either way, you’ve decided to learn Dhivehi. But you soon find out that there are basically no resources to help you learn – and trust me, I know how frustrating that can be. But there’s no need to worry any more. This series of Dhivehi lessons will help you along in your journey from “clueless foreigner” to “basically one of them”. Before you get started, you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. So think of this little introduction as “Lesson 0”.

It’s just the alphabet!

I think the author should edit this book to accurately reflect that’s it’s only about the Maldivian alphabet. It doesn’t include any speaking lessons.
