This appears to be geared to English-speaking South Africans. There are some puzzling vocabulary choices and omissions, and no grammar notes at all, which was surprising. There's very little vocabulary that reflects the practices (for example, foods or aspects of village life) of Batswana. However, it's functionally the only somewhat easily accessible Setswana guide.
