Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

Vernacular Media (my work) is really getting into full-swing here in Mbeya.  I have tons to do and the going is still slow as I gather my bearings.  I’ve spent a lot of time researching material resources; cassette tapes from Dar es Salaam, cassette labels from New York, character speakers from remote villages.  Now things are on the verge of actual recording!

I can’t remember if I’ve posted this but here it is again…

… the map of languages around Mbeya with whom we’re working.  Since there are so many and each at a different point in having audio in their mother tongue, I’m creating a new category & subcategories.  So, if you become interested in a particular group and how the recordings are going for them, you can just click their category in the section in the sidebar of my main page.

I’ll start with a post tomorrow about how I helped with some of the translation of The Gospel of Mark in Kimalila.
