This reader contains 23 authentic Kurmanji selections taken from audio and video files, roughly organized according to topic, e.g., politics, society, personal narrative, et cetera.

Following each selection is a vocabulary list of Kurdish words that are not included in the Kurdish-English Dictionary/Ferhenga Kurmancî-Inglîzî (2003)

The translations of the audio transcripts, presented following each selection, adhere to a fairly literal translation style in order to call the learner’s attention to the distinctive ways in which Kurdish is structured.

Accumulative glossary ends the book.

3 audio CDs included.
