They also have a nice Xhosa textbook and CD-ROM series, and all of their material was written fairly recently. Here's the link: http://africanvoices.co.za Benjamin J.

Xhosa materials? (1) from [log in to unmask] There's a title called "Clicking with Xhosa" published in Cape Town in 2001. It doesn't come with audio materials, but there happen to be 5 used copies available from amazon.co.uk, and 2 copies available at the US amazon site. UFL's copy is classed at PE1128.K57 2001, so you can find it in the stacks there to evaluate it before ordering. Charles L. Riley, Charles L.

Dunwoody Press has a 'Xhosa Newspaper Reader and Lexicon, advertised as beginning/intermediate. I find this series better for students who are no longer at the beginning level. Sometimes they have corresponding CDs that have to be purchased separately. Xhosa also comes in the Teach Yourself series - text and CD (1999). And check the UCLA Lang Materials Project, and check in the CARLA database where Xhosa is taught.
