Dear Friend,
I write to you from Aingo. I am staying at my uncle’s house. His name is Talgo and he is a very nice man. It is good to live here. Every day, I wake up early and eat breakfast with Talgo. Then, we usually go out to walk in the forest or walk to the lake. The forest here is beautiful. Everything is so green and fresh. The lake is cold but we swim in it anyways. Talgo introduced me to Syly and Oṡke. They are a couple. They also live here in Aingo. Syly has long dark hair and pale blue eyes, and Oṡke is short and has dark hair. I can practice speaking Siwa when I see them. Syly likes to pick mushrooms and I think that Oṡke likes to eat them. She is a very good cook (formal). This week, we are going on a trip, everyone together. We will go see a waterfall and big mountains. Oṡke said there is a also a big valley, and there are many bears and moose there. I like staying here. People are nice, the city is beautiful and the nature is amazing. 

With love,

Edlke

Thank you for having bought my book!

I hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Siwa is a very beautiful language, and so is the book, if I may say so. It took many years to write, and I put more love and care into it than in any other project. Although it may be difficult to start with, it is really worth getting to know Siwa, even if only a little. I promise that you will be glad that you bought this book. In no time, you will speak Siwa like a real Siura.

Enjoy the read.

-Monoba.

Edlke and Oṡke are in the city shopping for food for this evening’s supper. Oṡke asks Edlke about what he would like to eat.

edlke:		 Where is the foodstore?
oṡke: 		It is is right here, to the right. It is a very good foodstore. You can find all 		kinds of food there. They sell all types of traditionally Siwa meats.
edlke:		 Wow, it all sounds good. What would you like to eat this evening? I don’t 		cook much.
oṡke:		 Good question. I don’t know. What would you like? Meat? Soup? Have you 		tasted traditional Siwa fish soup (sitru)? I could show you how to prepare it.
edlke:		 That also sounds good. Fish is good. How do you prepare sitru? What shall 		we buy?
oṡke:		 Well, good fresh fish is very important. So let’s buy good fresh fish. I know 		someone who can sell us the best fish in the city. He is the best fishmonger 		that I know. 
edlke:		 Do we need anything else for the sitru?
oṡke:		 We do. We need onion, carrots, fat (butter) and salt. Sitru is traditionally 		eaten with bread and cheese.   First let’s go talk with the fishmonger.
edlke:		 Alright, let’s go.
