Dada 'Glori'pole na kazi.Nimeingia kwenye mtandao wako..lakini lugha uliyoitumia ni ngumu kweli kweli dada yangu..na ni kama unalenga wanunuzi wako wawe wa daraja fulani vile lenye uwz..?Unaweza kuwa na 'version' za kiswahili vile vile kwa ajili ya shule zetu za vijini(TZ)..si unajua tena mambo ya Inglishi huko vijijini..Ni mawazo yangu tu

Who is your target reader? Do you think the students from Manundu and others alike will be able to read and enjoy your book? Unless you had in the back of your mind the idea of exploring western market, I found this book of no use to Tanzania. Let me remind you, Tanzania's native language is Swahili, so I would argue you to consider translating the book in Swahili. Nevertheless, I like your idea... brilliant but please consider using Swahili to communicate those precious songs and ideas to the vast majority.
ReplyDeleteBadala ya kumpa hongera nyinyi mumeanza na kumshambulia kwa vile ameandika kitabu cha kiingereza. Kwani hii lugha ya kiingereza haisomeshwi hapa Tanzania? Ni nani anayetunga vile vitabu vya kiada kuanzia darasa la tatu mpaka sekondari? Na hayo ma academy yote yaliyojaa hapa nchini huwa wanasomea vitabu gani? Au munaona ni vyema wasome vitabu vya Kenya na Uganda na siyo vya Tanzania.
ReplyDeleteIngefaa mukampa ushauri tu kuwa ikiwezekana hicho kitabu nacho kitafsiriwe kwa kiswahili.
Hongera sana Gloria endelea na uzi huo huo.
