Swahili Lessons
I learned more in our 2 three hour lessons for basic conversation then I did in all my years of taking french. From our lessons I am able to have a basic intro conversation with someone which is really cool. I admire anyone who knows a second language because I think words are so beautiful and it is such a gift. That is one of my goals in life is to become fluent in another language. Here is a little snip it of what we learned in 2 days.
Person 1: Hujambo (Hello)
Person 2: Sijambo (Hello)
Person 1: Habari Yako? (How are you)
Person 2: Nzuri (good, fine), Na wewe? (what about you)
Person 1: Nzuri pia ( I am fine as well)
Person 1: Jina lako ni nani? (what is your name)
Person 2: Jina langu_____. Na wawa? (my name is____. what about you)
Person 1: JIna langu____.
Person 2: Unatoka wapi? (Where are you from?)
Person 1: Ninatoka____ ( I am from___)
Person 2: Kwa heri (good bye)
We also learned a few other questions, verbs, and numbers up to 10. Tomorrow we will have culture lessons to prepare us for the market and how to successfully bargain.
I am taking a recharge afternoon which is nice so that is why the blog post is early. But positive I found my charger and I slept through the entire night.. although I am getting a little sick so the recharge time is needed
I'll See Ya,
