I'm learning some Somali phrases and find this book very helpful, on a "quick & dirty" guidebook level.

Can you ever say that you "read" a dictionary? I am ready to move on to a more advanced dictionary, especially one that tells whether the word is masculine or feminine (a drawback of this brief book).

I liked this language guidebook quite a bit, but I think it could have been organized better.
