Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, 5 March 2008, The New Dominion will begin a weekly series of short lessons on practical spoken Uyghur: Survival Uyghur!
These light-hearted lessons are designed for long-term visitors to Xinjiang, as well as short-term tourists who want to get by and make a good impression. By practicing these lessons, you will learn to properly order food, purchase necessities, say hello, handle yourself in a taxi, and much more. At the same time, you will develop a foundation in the Uyghur language’s grammar and pronunciation that can contribute to further study.
So, watch this space tomorrow for Lesson One: Ordering Polo!
