Additional notes:
Based on pronunciation information in the Green Book 'WembaWemba Dictionary' by the late Dr. Luise Hercus. Less examples than long version.
Suggestions (Teacher's Notes):
Read and pronounce Wamba Wamba examples out loud. Write out Wamba Wamba and English examples and pronounce out loud. Search for other examples of the vowel sounds in the Learning Lists. For example, the Learning List called 'Words with 'a' as in 'path' sound - birds and animals' will give you 21 examples of the standard 'a' sound.
