Review: Helped us communicating with our new nanny - Good Review: Pocket sized good but basic Oromo dictionary/phrasebook - The book includes a very brief grammar section, an A-Z English/Oromo dictionary, and A-Z Oromo/English dictionary, and a section with relevant phrases. It is pocket sized. It's pretty good for basic use of the language, but a more detailed grammar section would be useful.
