Plot was just okay, wasn't able to follow it all times. But, definitely did simplify Kiswahili and I learned a lot so shout out to Peter. Minus a star because some of the language and info is a little dated. Highly reccomend if one is trying to learn the rules of kiswahili grammar!

Usipoweza kusoma haya maneno usome kitabu hiki.

This book as my constant companion during my time in East Africa. Very useful and well planned out, a lot of the lesson language can be used in day to day life living in Africa.
