    About this ebook

    The beginner’s module is the entry level of learning Setswana. It is made easier for people attempting to learn the language. The aim is to build basic vocabulary and phrases which make sense. The book/module is targeting people from all walks of life. This includes adults, students and primary school children.

    The book is self-explanatory but may need a tutor of Setswana to clarify some words. It is advisable to start with this book before getting to level two module, which is the next book after this one.

    Topics in this book will teach learners to be able to greet, do directions buy items from the shops etc.

    Setswana is spoken in many countries nowadays and people from across boarders need to acquire the language skills without struggling. The modules are written to guide such people. I would like to acknowledge the names of people who assisted me in their various ways and support Wame Molefhe, Seolebaleng Legakabe, Tinah Ramatlapana,my brother Alan Boshwaen and my two sons Eugene and Johan Boshwaen.

      The teacher reads and asks the learners to follow. They are asked to read as individuals. After reading teacher explains the difference between the greetings –dumela and dumelang, le kae and re teng and what they literally mean. In fact dumela is singular and dumelang is plural.

      Dumelang is also used to greet elderly people as a way of respecting them.

      Le kae and Re teng are both plural but that is how people greet nowadays.
