learn Swahili

I want to learn more swahili, i got some basic skills but i want to be so i can live in Kenya for a while and get back to my roots sindio?!

... and it was not as bad as many of the other languages I expirienced in Africa. I was around Xhosa in South Africa every day for 6 weeks, and I was not able to pick up anything. The same amount of time in Tanzania, and I could the the greetings down at least.

i’ve been researching some places I could study kiswahili next summer. so far, i’m most attracted to this language school in zanzibar called THE INSTITUTE OF KISWAHILIAND FOREIGN LANGUAGES. Is there anyone out there who has experience with this school? does anyone have any other suggestions that I could look in to?

Would I ever use it? Probably not… but it just sounds so darned cool!

Learning Swahili will help me get in touch with my roots.

remember when you were interested in learning Swahili?

Well, when im older i plan on living in africa for a minimum of a year.
I am starting to learn the language now
because i also plan on doing volunteer work in the near future
So, i’m learning baisic phrases off of the internet, and practicing them everyday
until i can get a book or tape about the language.
I also plan on learning to speak Kinyarwanda
but i hear it’s very difficult?

I will be leaving on my birthday (May 10th) for Tanzania. I plan to attend a Swahili school on the island of Zanzibar for four months. I have a plane ticket, but don’t know if the school still exists or where I’m staying. Oh well :) Looks like another adventure!

a temporary giving-up, as I don’t have the time right now, and would rather concentrate on Hebrew. But I’m definitely going to carry this on at some point.
