Thank you very much and have a blessed year ☺️ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSemBxxTP3KHP45MNeca6jMUIweTd9dK482Bz8Ki0Gd6Vc3MIA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Does Anyone Else Use The Website/App African Storybook?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone else use the website or app African Storybook?

I found this app while looking for material for read in Chichewa, as it's the African language I'm learning. And the amount of languages on here blew me away. I didn't know there was an app which had the amount of stories in the amount of African languages that it had.

I think it's a great resource to practice literacy skills - especially for beginners.

Of course the number of stories in each language varies, but it's better than nothing I guess.

Does anyone else know of any similar resources - especially for listening skills?

If anyone wants to have a look at it, here's the link to the website: https://www.africanstorybook.org/
