1. Swahili - Learn the Greetings & Intros

In this Swhili course you will learn enough kiSwahili to start conversations and as you go along you will find out it is easy to learn and understand what is being said to you. Most of my matter is reproduction from my website www.kulmansam.com which has been up and running since 1995. The site has been used by tourists and students from different countries to learn kiSwahili and also as a source for African recipes from Zanzibar Islands.
The course will start with greetings and take you through different scenarios that a tourist may go through while visiting the Swahili coast (East Africa). I have taken some of the matter from a book called 'Tourist Guide to Tanzania - by Gratian Luhikula' and published by 'Travel Promotion Services Ltd.'
The object of my course is not to teach kiSwahili grammar or written kiSwahili, but rather to get you conversing confidently from day one. You will learn to read as we go, but you will have to take advance courses if you plan to write a book!
While you are here, just have fun listening and speaking kiSwahili.

@SLVRNBLACCATTACC :-) thanks! Other than finding Swahili people (a lot in Canada) or going to Zanzibar, I have no suggestions. That's why I started this channel. Not much out there.

I have no benefit where I live for learning this language, but I find something really interesting with it and try anyways.

[kulmansam]

@airsoftoverkills :-) You will be totally surprised by what you find when you learn ANY language. The connections and understanding between regions of the world will suddenly seem so apparent. Give it a try, worst case scenario you can always kid around, when some one says "I don't speak Swahili", you can tell them "well I do, why not you?" LOL

[SLVRNBLACCATTACC]

@kulmansam...Thanks brotha for these GREAT uploads.I've been wanting to learn Swahili for quite some time now,I want to speak it as fluent as I speak english! Do you have any suggestions on how I can learn how to hold a full conversation (maybe a particular program from the library) or something like that...Thx 1Luv from Compton Ca...

@solidgearman :-) East African! Tanzania has earthly light tones of green, brown and yellows. Kenya uses darker tones such as purple dark green and brown-yellow. Ghana usually uses one color or like colors like white only or gold and yellow etc, yet again they could go gold, black and brown-yellow. What I'm wearing is just a tourister version from Tanzania .

[solidgearman]

@kulmansam that shirt your wearing. What is the cultural origin, meaning(symbolism) and who can where those?
