Today we’ll learn eight very useful words and phrases of the Uzbek language, which we have already encountered in one way or another and we’ll use in the exercise. In the new lesson, as in others, there is audio from native Uzbek speakers.
As usual, part of the lesson from my Uzbek language tutorial is available to everyone, and part is available to site donors. Also, only donors (it’s not expensive — from $3 per month) have access to the answers to the exercises from the previous lesson. So become those who support the site — the benefits are mutual.
