Setswana pronunciation
In the countries we visit, we have tried to learn a few words of the local language out of respect. So, in preparation for our Botswana visit, we are looking at some Setswana - most of the pronunciation looks pretty straightforward, but how do you pronounce Rra and Mma? And, I say that the pronunciation doesn't look too hard, but I could be wrong - what could trip me up? To put this in context, I'm pretty good with languages.
