The degree of difficulty of the Somali language is inversely proportional to its usefulness. So unless he's trying to woo a fine Somali woman (or man :D ), he's wasting his time. He's better off learning Arabic, Spanish, Mandarin or Hindi.

You didn't comprehend what I wrote. Read it again.

 

And on the issue of micno ma leh, of what importance is the Somali language to a foreigner who probably speaks two or three other, more relevant, languages? Don't get your knickers in a twist. That was a rhetorical question.
