@ordoqui karibu tena :o) did you see the closed captions?

[ordoqui]

Would you mind spelling these out and emailing them to me?

[kulmansam]

@ordoqui TEXT is already there, when watching video, could you please turn on ClosedCaption at bottom right of the video window (red color CC)

i have to agree with the rest, love your videos lakini tafadhali put som subtitles...that way i will learn how to speel aswell as pronunce!

[kulmansam]

@SimonaHjort Thanks, working on it

@kulmansam have you ever spoke to someone who speaks congolese Swahili if so can you understand the accent?

[kulmansam]

@sn00piedog I have spoken to people who speak Congolese Swahili.. we can understand part of what they say and they too can understand part of what we say... they mix theirs with their langauge. But we cannot have 100% transparent communication/that is without difficulties, unless they switch to regular Swahili (which most of them can do that)

[sn00piedog]

@kulmansam Yes true we can 

[tumpiliksye]

Good Job !! we need subtitles !!!

[kulmansam]

@tumpiliksye still looking for a program that will help me do that... so it can be nicely timed

[kulmansam]

@Codylangaugesblog Thanks to you too.. my plan is to attempt 3 and produce at least 2 a week.. lets see how that works LOL. I have about 7 videos to make, then we will jump to swahili 201

I'm glad to see a new video of yours!

Could you write proverbs in subtitles please? Your pronunce is very clear, but I didn't understand a couple of words. =)

Swahili proverbs are so wise... But I've read some of them, few anyway, that underline how, unluckily, woman's condition is still bad.
