I am a former Peace Corps volunteer from Madagascar and currently a resident in the country after four years. I am fluent in the Malagasy language. I do not recommend this dictionary to anyone traveling to madagascar. This dictionary is difficult to use, insufficient, and often incorrect. It is also very expensive compared to the dictionaries available in any major city in Madagascar.

There are two excellent dictionaries in print in Madagascar. They are printed by the malagasy lutheran press. The malgasy-english dictionary is pink and sells for 4,000 Ariary (2 dollars) in the capital. The better of the two english-malgasy dictionaries available in madagascar is the yellow, pocket dictionary. This dictionary includes a list of useful obolana (proverbs) and their translations as well as some cryptic grammar notes (but what grammar notes aren't cryptic).

In short- don't buy this online if you are going to madagascar as you can buy cheap, good dictionaries when you get there (even at the airport). If you want to learn some words before you get there go to the online dictionary at [...]

Good luck. Mazotoa!

The Bible in Norwegian. Nice to see this version of the Holy Bible. Great!

This book compares the sound changes within the Witotoan family, reconstructing proto-WItotoan in the process. The sound changes are very detailed. Of course this can fit into the book of this size, since there are only 6 Witotoan languages. Anyway, this proves the unity of WItotoan family, and provides evidence for subgrouping. The only thing lacking is comparison of the grammar, only the possessive prefixes are compared, in the vocabulary section. But even without a grammar section, we can see the languages are all related.

I bought this book for my daughter, who has traveled to Madagascar and personally met Dr. Patricia Wright. She was delighted to have this book amd read even more stories and true accounts of Dr. Wright's work with tuese magnificent animals. Highly recommend if you love Lemurs or the vast country of Madagascar!

Whenever I listen to Casiokids, I imagine that the Norwegian version of New Order made love babies with a gameboy and among their offspring was Casiokids. I love this stuff, I do not understand a lick of it, but I love it even so. Check out these songs on Grooveshark: Fot I hose; Finn Bikkjen!; and Verdens Storste Land. I think you'll get a general feel for them.

I ordered this too quickly, as I thought I was buying Swedish. I am teaching myself Swedish and making good progress.  I'm
not sure if this is in Norwegian or Danish???, but will learn it, too, when I finish with the Swedish and German.

The marketing pose is at best a bit silly, but this album exists in part because so many of the talented folk musicians of Scandinavia are women. You will find many of the best of the Norwegians here on this  Norway-dominated CD including Annbjoerg Lien, Kirsten Braaten-Berg, Tone  Hulbaekmo, Pernille Anker plus some other artists you may want to check  out.  Lien's two selections include 'Foenix', a fast-paced upbeat tune from  her Prisme album and 'Myllargutens Brureslaatt' (The Miller Boy's Bridal  Tune), a slow contemplative piece.  Among several fiddlers, she stands out  as usual.  As on other collection albums, Tone Hulbaekmo's two pieces are  by themselves nearly worth the price of admission, especially 'Illusion.'  I can't yet describe her style of music; she has bent the norsk folk medium  into a unique personal expression.  Both of her pieces are from her  'Svevende Jord' (Floating Ground) album.  The two Swedish selections are  both by Susanne Rosenberg whose 'Anna Och Wilhelm' does not strictly adhere  to western piano-ready seven note scale.  Like many Scandinavian musicians  of old traditions, her octave is divided into notes that fall between or  just ignore the seven we are accustomed to.  The Finnish selections include  one song by Tallari and two by Tellu.  I will leave the Finnish reviews to  someone who understands Finn folk.  But you might not want to play these  three cuts on your office computer before you listen to it at home.  Other  Norwegian performances include pieces by Helene Hoeye, sometimes with Mari  Eggen, which may be the most emotionally rich compositions on the album.  'The Harp' by Aurora Borealis also deserves special mention.  Kirsten  Braaten-Berg's sole contribution is my favorite of hers, Heiemo Og Nykkjen  (Heiemo and The Water Sprite), which is also on Nordisk Sang - Songs From  Norway.  And Pernille Anker chimes in with one song and a written  composition in English that is at once playful and ridiculous with its  goddess mythology.  I have so far only omitted Hege Rimestad, who deserves  better, Susanne Lundeng, Aasne Sunniva Soereide and Sinikka Langeland.  This album, despite the gimmickry in packaging, is a worthwhile 67 minutes  of music.

Now I understand the story in Kari's Hurtigrute.  It's a wonderful song, both in English and in Norwegian.  See other comments in my review of Kari's song Hurtigrute

This software is so cool! I love learning these languages. Thai and Chinese are hard to learn, but I really love Korean and Japanese. This software is very good for people who are interesteed about the Asin languages, culture, or planning a trip to any of the countries in Asia.

Madagascar is a good brand and never disappoints. Love watching them at home and not in the theater as there are too many kids.

It may be an english version of `Uskon Puolesta', BUT it is more heavy metal than the orginal and most of us Americans don't speak Finnish! I own Pkallonpaikka as well as English versions The Jesus Metal Explosion and The Battle of God. I will buy them all, because I love the band, but the later English stuff is more rockin! I am quickly moving up Time of Silence (Eksynyt-Lost) to my fav repalcing The Jesus Metal Explosion (which I also love). Not to mention, the lyrics are different in the English version of theis song.

Being married to a Greek it is of great interest. We had no previous knowledge of the island for lepers. Semi historical in interesting manner.

This beautiful picture bilingual picture book includes various animal mothers and their young. The illustrations and most of the text is different from "Quiero a mi papa porque". All the animals are labeled in English and Spanish and their associated behaviors are accurate, as verified by animal experts. I understand what one baby prefere does not mean all will; my son enjoyed the pictures from 10-13 months, his current age. And I am learning more Spanish!

I found 'Madagascar Travel Companion' by Sara LeHoullier to be a very easy-to-read, insightful book about a fascinating country.  Being a nature and animal lover, I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of Sara's lemur encounters as well as the write-ups of several 'must explore' snorkeling sites (though I cringed at the sea urchin experience!). Sara's love for the Malagasy people and culture really comes through in her writing style and does elevate this book to something beyond a typical travel guidebook.  I felt like I was on the journey throughout Madagascar with Sara.  I found the practical information and her recommendations very helpful!

This was the first book of "svenska" I got to help me "talar" it, and once I had the little berlitz dictionary and this book combined to witness a bit of grammar, they both make a wonderful  combination. It depends on the person to who finds one method useful and  who finds it useless to their capability to learn. THis is just one method  out of several to learn a language. :)
