1Improved version of mp3 files to practise your Zarma. After the English word, there is a longer pause than in the original version. In addition, each Zarma word is pronounced twice by the Zarma speaking person in stead of once. The pronunciation by the American Peace Corps volunteer follows thereafter as in the original version.
