  1. Hi, thanks for all the work you've done on this blog. It's an amazing resource and I've been looking for something like this for a while. I'm planning on going to South Sudan in two months and would love to learn some Dinka before I go. Would it be possible to make contact with you for some help with pronunciation? Thanks once again
