Should people negate how blacks in the diaspora have adapted the western languages to their needs, the history, the reasons, sciences (if any) behind this and why?
Iam always fascinated ,when I see Kiswahili being expanded to reach other parts of the world ,which is not Africa. Iam from South Sudan. I learnt Kiswahili in Kakuma refugees camp , located in Northern part of Kenya,,where almost students didn't speak Kiswahili often. However, I myself loved the language more than other subjects. I could spend a lot of my times studying Kiswahili. When my Kiswahili teachers realised that I have a great interest in the language, they could teach hard if they see me responding positively in the class. Every Kiswahili teacher appeared to be my friend and like me very much. Some started to translate Kiswahili in English and I could copy everything in my note book. The first supportive little book I used to have was a book in which English words were translated in Kiswahili. The first stage I went through before that, was learning vowel letters such as, a,e,i ,o,u which form Kiswahili syllables. After that, I started learning tenses, ' nyakati': wakati uliopo, wakati uliopita, wakati timilifu , wakati ujao na kadhalika. I started it like that till I read Kiswahili books themselves. When I resettled to Australia in 2010, I bought myself some Kiswahili books, which I refers to sometimes so that I can maintain the little I have, because it is not commonly spoken here.
I am a native Swahili speaker from Tanzania. I have always dreamt to teach Swahili abroad, but I have never had that lucky chance. If only I got someone to support me to realize my dream, I would be incredibly thankful.
@@connie7192 Nonsense. He should have interviewed some Black people. Some Africans are so thrilled to hear white people speak their languages as though it were the greatest compliment in the world.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you offer lessons? If not, could you recommend any resources that could help me in my Swahili learning journey?

Kudos prof Wairungu,and my college mate.never thought kiswahili would take you miles and miles away from Moi university.Do you still do those typings of projects also back there as used to for us......heee....he
When foreigners try learning and master Swahili some of us back home we take it for granted! Impressive video, and all the best to Dr. Irungu's students in grasping our beloved language.
I'll tell you for free. Few opportunities exist thanks to your fluency in Swahili. Journalism, Education and then what? We don't have self sustaining structures in place so that there isn't a need to learn English. We have to learn it so that we can put ourselves in a better position when it comes to doing business and seeking employment. Hata huyu Wairungu ni juu anajua kizungu ndio maana alipata kazi huko. Look more closely. We just have a poor economy all round.
Lmaaoo.... Sheng is creole.. A mixture of swahili and english.. Infact it's easier for them to understand it.. I have a friend from US who told me that he found it way easier to understand sheng.. But si ile ya mbogi genje 😂😅
So happy South Africa and Nigeria are learning Kiswahili. Can't wait for more African countries to join in. I feel awful when a foreigner speaks Kikuyu and I don't. Lazima nijifundishe
Hello dear brother Alex. I'm a Tanzanian teacher, a teacher of Kiswahili, can you connect me with Dr Wairungu so that I can get a job there? I'm humble
Why teach Swahili in the US, instead of African countries? This the language all African countries must adopt in future for communicating between ourselves.
South Africans are learning kiswahili, and Namibia will do it in 2021. And personallys I'm french and I'm learning swahili. Swahili to the world ! Kiswahili chetu ni nguvu yetu ,
We don't want sheng language that what made nairobians not to speak good swahili that's why people from the coast don't want sheng,munafuata lugha za watu munaacha za kwenu,sahii mtu asiye kuwa wa Mombasa akizungmza Swahili utacheka
Kenyans of ALL walks of life whether Jaluo, Maasai, Nandi, Kikuyu, Kisii have MURDERED BOTH KISWAHILI AND ENGLISH thus we do need to reveiw the status of these two different languages in the nation. The travesty is that these students have a better command of Kiswahili than the average Kenyan.

I admire your work sir but am also ashamed of our kids in Kenya and living abroad who can't speak their mother tongue. We even heard parent's been funny with their kid's for speaking mother lingo. We need to eliminate our way of thinking and keep to our traditions that's the only way to even eradicate mental slavery. Why do we have so many churches in Kenya instead of schools?
The problem with we Kenyans is that we complicate it... we should style up and stick to Kiswahili the real. Imagine unajifunza Kiswahili chako mufti kisha unakutana na Mnairobi fulani na huwezi kuelewa ata sentensi moja. Sheng in Kenya's killing the good Swahili, am afraid.
Swahili originated in Tanzanian coast and spread on northern region of Tanzania 🇹🇿 to Mombasa (Kenya 🇰🇪) and southern region of Tanzania to Mozambique 🇲🇿 by business men and traders... Later it went and spread to every neighbor of Tanzania, thus every neighbor from Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬, Rwanda 🇷🇼, Burundi 🇧🇮, Eastern Congo 🇨🇩, northern Zambia 🇿🇲, northern Malawi 🇲🇼, Mozambique 🇲🇿, and Comoro island can all speak Swahili... But Kenya's neighbors Ethiopia 🇪🇹, South Sudan 🇸🇸, Somalia 🇸🇴 can't speak Swahili because Kenyans didn't create or spread Swahili words to other neighbors... Also after gaining independence, Tanzania 🇹🇿 immediately officialized Swahili as a national and official language of the nation while Kenya 🇰🇪 after gaining independence officialized English as their national and official language, but later Kenya 🇰🇪 added Swahili as their national language but not official language. Swahili is spoken fluently in Tanzania 🇹🇿 than any African country, Kenya use Swahili as their second language after English, while the rest countries use Swahili as their third language
A bit shocked to hear grown adults learning stuff that, in Kenya, is taught in primary school. If he were based in Kenya, Dr. Wairungu would be teaching Std.3 pupils...
Finally I see someone struggling to learn what am perfect in 😂😂😂😂 feels good to be on the other side for once

Good job, Prof. Wairungu and the students too! The student who visited TZ speaks with a TZ swahili accent; sounds excellent. Keep up the good work.

Wow!

Nice to see Swahili in Diaspora Kudos Alex

Most African countries don't offer Swahili lessons in their learning institutions.
Actually being embraced as the Aftican language. South Africa is introducing Swahili in their curriculum from 2020.

I beg to differ, language tends to evolve over time, You can't wish it away, Sheng is unique to us, its here to stay, Kiswahili chako sio sanifu.
😂😂 kweli. Mimi ni mtanzania na nimeliona hilo. Watu wa Mombasa wanaongea kiswahili kama Tanzania.
