Do you want to learn Swahili? And ACTUALLY learn to be conversational? This learning guide is not just a few greetings or numbers, nor is it a rigorous textbook - it gives you the grammatical background and vocabulary skills to learn conversational Swahili as quickly as you can flip through the pages! The author, John Burns, was completely frustrated with Swahili-learning guides while he lived in Tanzania for three years. So, after he learned fluent Swahili from working and living there, he decided to do something about it! The product is this relatively simple book. Swahili isn't a complicated language! It has few exceptions and follows common patterns, but other Swahili-learning guides just weren't making that clear. Whether you're traveling to East Africa for work, want to understand more while on an upcoming safari, or simply interested in learning the language, this is the guide for you!
I will have to go back and take notes and make flash cards, but there seems to be some excellent nuggets to breaking down the grammar in bite-sized and easy to comprehend pieces. This is encouraging!
