This material is a series of lessons prepared in French to give an introduction to the Kanouri language. The need for such material arose during a twelve-week Niger-Chad Peace Corps training project which took place at San Francisco State College in the summer of 1966. The teachers were bilingual French-Kanouri speakers, and it was therefore necessary to do translations in French. The Kanouri text was set down using French spelling conventions. This series of lessons is not a self-instruction course. A native speaker-teacher is needed to instruct the student in the subtleties of pronunciation, cadence, ryhthm and tone of the Kanouri language. Some of the lessons have used the Peace Corps' Djerma Basic Course materials as a guide. English as well as French translations are given throughout the lessons. (Author/CFM)
