Yeh the nouns got me as well. It took me ages to understand it, and after 10 years in Rwanda and being married to a Rwandan for 9 years I still mix the nouns up.
Alcohol helps it flow a little more I found.
I produced a pocket sized dictionary while I was there. I am revising it at the moment and want to sell it on the internet, but if you want I can email you what I did a few years ago. It was done in MS Publisher so you will have to check if you can open it there. If you want it send me an email.

*Be sure to write "par avion" on any letter or package you send me.
For packages:
- send in padded envelope OR flat rate box
- express mail is useless (don't bother)
- be succinct on the customs form (less is more, and will keep my box from being raided)
