Luganda Basic Course (Foreign Service Institute, 1968)

This is a Luganda language course written by Frederick Katabazi Kamoga and Earl W. Stevick and published in 1968 by the US Foreign Service Institute with Peace Corps support. It has 94 lessons. They cover greetings, getting acquainted, everyday activities, telling time, food and travel, with short reading texts about Ugandan towns such as Kampala, Masindi, Mbarara and Jinja. Grammar topics include tenses, negatives, relatives, subjunctives, imperatives, object infixes and noun classes. An introductory synopsis explains pitch, tone and vowel length. The book ends with kinship charts and a glossary. It was written for adult non-native learners rather than for a particular school class.
