Summary
Details

The Wanarruwa Beginner’s Guide is a step-by-step to understanding Wanarruwa, a language of the Hunter River area – beginning with the absolute essentials and building up the knowledge of how the pieces of the language work together. This step-by-step language learning format lends itself to being used as a basis for sequenced language teaching and, indeed, it is hoped that this will be the case. This guide should form the basis of any Wanarruwa language learning.

After each section there is a review to consolidate the knowledge from that section. An appendix provides word lists of the words used in the guide and some tables of important grammatical groups.

The book has been co-written by Sharon Edgar-Jones, a Wonnarua descendant, and Albert Burgman to enable the Wonnarua community to more easily access language knowledge. They were assisted by the research of Dr Jim Wafer.
