Swahili101

Swahili 101 / #kiswahili 101 is a channel for those wanting to learn conversational Swahili. Swahili is a word derived from Arabic (sawaahil), it means "coast", so it is a language spoken by the coastal people. Since Zanzibar was one of the worlds trade center long ago. The coast of East Africa, heading north is what the term refers to. If you read comments within this channel long enough you will find that quite a few people have actually taken these lessons and put them to use on their visit to East Africa where Swahili is spoken. Places like Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia etc.

I am not a professional, you will find people who are learning using other widely used 'professional courses' and professional tools also coming here and looking for explanation, you can join in. All I am doing is sharing and it's free! Have fun and enjoy. Feel free to ask questions (after looking at relevant video and comments), as many questions were answered by professionals before as they visited the channel.
