Does anyone know where I can get the Hausa language translated?

Question

I am trying to learn conversational Hausa.

My boyfriend is Hausa and all of his friends so I hear it all the time. I even listen to the BBC. I have checked out the UCLA site too. I am looking for a CD or DVD or soemthing that teaches the lanuguage by repetition or something. Really basic.

Thanks Chick! You are right about the dialect that he speaks. He is from northern nigeria and he is Hausa and not Fulani. We are planning a trip to Nigeria in December and I want to surprise him by learning is native dialect. Also, he will occasionally leave me voicemails in Hause as well as speak to me to help me get used to hearing it and stuff. Thanks for your help.

Well, you've to get another Hausa. Part of my family speak Hausa. Maybe I can translate things for you. But I can write it.

I'm not sure if you can get a CD or DVD. Hausa is not an international language like French or Spanish. It's only spoken in my country - Nigeria. And it's only one of the many languages spoken in the country. The only way to learn it fast is have your boyfriend or any member of his family teach you. 20 mins a day is not bad. Hope I helped.

I just checked out the UCLA website and I sort of disagree with some of the things said. If hausa is spoken in Niger, it has to be Nigerians living there. It's not a language in Ghana or Niger. Sometimes people confuse Hausa with Fulani which is more of a multi-country and Sub-Sahara Language that sounds like Hausa. I believe this is the language spoken in parts of Niger.

Also, one of the most languages look greater than as soon as to your record. Have a excellent day.
