I spent 10 days in Tanzania, diving
Then, I began to learn kiswahili.
I want to encourage you to publish more videos like this one.
This way of teaching (short and usual phrases, whith text and translation undertitled, spoke twice from various native speakers in various situations) is, as far as I see, the beeeest one!
I studied german and it was not easy, and a admit that the best part was learning from young people in "alltags" (usual, daily) situations. Youtube offer us an awesome option. Thanks for the video to all who took part and congratulations

Asante Sana! I am of the Afrikan Diaspora. Thanks to you and Medina with Swahilipod 101, ...Ninajifunza Kiswahili! I am on a quest to become culturally congruent. Through research and DNA testing I found my Afrikan Heritage and Ancestry. Nilibadilisha jina langu kisheria; but decided to learn Swahili. Asili yangu ni Balanta na Zulu.

Been taking Swahili calls through an interpreter since 03-20-2020 for a lot of Swahili people and I recognize several phrases. Definitely going to impress them the next time I talk with them

hakuna matata <-famous phrase is Swahili I heard, right?

[erikfurudisatoko]

[HiNinqi]

Will there be a Easy Swahili youtube channel made soon the way there is for your other languages like german 🇩🇪 and russian 🇷🇺?

Thank for the effort.. just strange because it does not follow the normal format of Easy Language series in all the other languages. I thought the idea of the Easy Language Series was to have common / typical "conversations" so that we can get a sense of the language. The first few Easy Swahili videos I see are "video-phrasebook".. Nice HD with Clear sound.. but nothing you can't learning in a few minutes yourself in a written phrasebook. Maybe the Swahili team should watch Easy French, Easy Croatian etc.. Those are great!

[zamokuhlesindane]

Wow😍 thank you very much my sister.🙏🏿💕

[n_]

Wow you are one of the most physically beautiful people I’ve ever seen in my life

[efrainlopez]
