The Chinyanja Basic Course presents all the essential grammar of the spoken language of Malawi. It is divided into two main parts. The first consists of Units 1 - 40 and the second of Units 41 - 63. The first part emphasizes those words and sentences that students are most likely to need during their first few weeks in Malawi. The principal points of grammar are introduced , but they are not treated systematically, and there are a few drills. In the second part the materials from Units 1 - 40 are reintroduced. This time, however, the units are longer, and more attention is given to mastery of the grammatical devices of the language. Each lesson includes dialogues and notes.
