I'm a native Swahili speaker, but still watching this😂
Sending love from Tanzania to everyone out there who's learning this beautiful African language.
Would this language be useful on my trop to Zanzibar ?🤔
@@iverbronx im also going to Zanzibar when are you going
usijali tuko wengi😅😅
same
@@iverbronx
Yes.
Beautiful language! I am African but I was born in the USA. I want to learn a second language and I chose Swahili because it is an African language. Thank you for sharing these lessons.
Im in the usa and this will be my family language... My first language... Slave languages dont count
BLACK POWER BANGING is my Instagram add me lets build
I can teach you if you want, Tanzanian Speak more fluent than Kenyan.
@ Olympia Roberts Do you celebrate Kwanzaa?
Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principles) are all in Kiswahili.
@@@seifmajid8088 you do not need to oppose Africans dude. It's occidental thing.
Africans everywhere need to learn This. Let’s make it our global language. Spread the word.
I'm not african and i don't speak Swahili but i really like the language. I think when it would be widespread over africa many people in europe and asia would learn it.
Why should North Africans need to learn Swahili? Stop using Black and African as synonyms.
Sarban Maybe he should say all bantu people should learn swahili.
@Yorkie Newman wow..what a mix... mauritanian?? dont mind sarban..he is an african by convenience.
@@sarban1653 blacks own Africa,just remember how u Arabs got there. So he can use black as a synonym for Africa.
I was born in Kenya. My dad is german and my mum is Kenyan. I came to Germany when I was 5 years old. I had to learn german fast and forgot how to speak Swahili but I understand everything. Love this Video it really helps! Thanks!
Ilona Bubat
that’s an interesting mix! wow
Hey am trying to learn german...any tips
Oh my god I was born in Munich and my mom is from Tanzania both languages I speek and everyday!!!
OoO you're my fellow Kenyan :D
same for my dad german mom kenyan but i‘ve always lived in germany
Whoah ! This language is beautiful. It flows extremely well. I’m Gaelic Scottish and I’m not lying but this is one of the most simplistic languages to learn and pronounce and I really struggle trying to learn languages, especially trying to pronounce properly. Swahili is almost poetic, your mouth feel smooth and it rolls off the tongue very easy. It’s almost like it’s the perfect language designed for the human mouth. I’m glad my curiosity lead to me to look up the language. I’m now invested into learning. Africa has beautiful cultures that are vibrant. It’s weird how much I’m drawn to it and one of the languages. Amazing! Going to keep learning so I can communicate with my African Muslim brothers as I will be able to practice with them and they will tell me if I’m doing bad or doing good. Amazing language, Subhan’allah
Swahili is completely made up of syllables (m,n are exceptions). Syllables don't flow as nice letters. But I still Swahili.
Spelling is perfect.
It sound like a song!
Big deal. Compared to Gaelic almost everything must seem easy ...
@@melodies2013 lol why the big deal comment
I've been to Kenya 4 times. I always learn something new. This time, I have decided to learn kiswahili. Wish me luck all!
Good luck Fuji
Good luck !!!! I am with you..:). Go for it..
How’s it coming along
unfortunately you can not understand fluent Kiswahili in Kenya just come here in Tanzania where Kiswahili was born I teach a lot of Americans here you're warmly welcome in Tanzania
@@sammwanza4402 Lol Tanzanian Swahili is hard for a beginner. Kenyan Swahili is very simple and enough to get you through East Africa. Even the translator in this video is Kenyan.
I am Brazilian, journalist, and I have always been curious about the Swahili language. It's a beautiful language from a wonderful continent. I love Africa!
i can be your personal swahili tutor
@@williamnkobi1798 I have been talking to some friends from Kenya since the end of last year. However, in English, not Swahili. I need to improve my English first to discover new things. LOL
Thank you very much or if available. I really appreciated that.
Tbm sou Brasileiro Talles, sou louco pra ir pro Quênia um dia, o bom é que muitos países falam Swahili.
Would you accept an amazonian tribe claiming Portuguese to be their indigenous language? KISWAHILI BELONGS TO ZANZIBAR. The rest of Africa speaks Kiswahili like the chinese speak Portuguese.
@@williamnkobi1798 Nkobi is not a Kiswahili name like Messi is not a Chinese name. You cannot speak Kiswahili.
Habari, I'm going to learn Swahili at all cost this year 2024. Please recommend more sources for practice and continuous learning. I'm loving it from Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼
When you are a native swahili speaker and you're still watching this video
Hahaha..... Tuko wengi

Tuko pamoja
Akiii!
Teach us some please ?
Learning Swahili is one of my 2019 goals, I am from Zimbabwe, enjoying the language.

We as Africans especially us in the sub-sahara region must consider to learn Swahili as the main Bantu language. Am a isiXhosa speaking and has self taught isiswahili. Very interesting language really.
Very true
To think I’m about to learn Swahili to surprise my Ugandan girlfriend, wish me luck all
I also want to learn Swahili for my Kenyan girlfriend. Good luck to you and wish me luck
Asante sana for this lesson
Wow! I know what that means. Just from watching this video.
So I respond: Karibu
Alright!! I'm on my way. I'm gonna do everything to be able to speak this language
hontoni
kamwe😂😂
My daughter in law if from Kenya and I'm trying to learn her native language . I'm so thankful I found your channel! Thanks for your videos!
I'm half Chinese half English born and raised in Britain, that still doesn't stop me from learning swahili
That cool how is ur progress so far
@@luxlux1762 I have given it a pause at the moment to focus on other languages, after a month of study it has been a fun language, different, harder than I thought since its touted as an easy language, the grammar is not THAT easy.
I have stayed in Kenya for six months and I love the Kenyan people, they are so friendly and I didn't suffer to communicate with them because they speak English as the official language but I always was looking forward to speaking Swahili, and you gave me a good opportunity to do that, by the way, you have an amazing way to teach Swahili. Karibu Sana mpendwa Madina.
We need this language in schools here in Ethiopia. I am in love with this language 😍😍🔥
your username-niguse means 'touch me' in swahili hope that's fun
We love you so much guys 🇪🇹🇪🇹
This is from Tanzania 🇹🇿

Oh ya that’s very fun
Than let me touch you babe if u r Girl 😂😂
Welcome to Tanzania and Kanye will teach you my friend.
As a Romanian who travelled to Mombasa two years ago, I was struck by how easy is to learn and reproduce the Swahili phonetics. Even though Romanian is a latin language and has nothing to do with Swahili, I found that it was very easy to remember and pronounce words - and vice versa, Kenyan people could pronounce words in my language easily! I’m fascinated and would absolutely love to speak Swahili fluently:)
Swahili is such a beautiful language. I’m fully Kenyan and hopefully I can learn my mother tongue
Mother language🤔
@Mwaniki Mwaniki lolol
@Mwaniki Mwaniki sold outs was too funny! The language barrier! But at least @truth Meter knew that much! 😀👌🏽
My grandson is learning SWAHILI in college.
Where is that - if it is a question I may ask?
what do you mean
I wish my university had Swahili!
We should learn as well.
@@melodies2013 it means university
My mum is Tanzanian and my dad is Pakistani when I was younger I use to speak urdu and Swahili so fluently but I forgot the language over time so I am here so I can learn the language again so I can talk to my mum like I use to this video is helping remember so much of the language thank you ❤️❤️
Being Kenyan, I'm a native Swahili speaker and I have studied Swahili up to high school but I'm watching these videos anyway. I'm not sure what I'm looking for but I'm enjoying, lol. Good luck to all of you here to learn, you will love it.
You are a teacher my sister! God bless you. I am from South Sudan. I was born and raised in North Sudan. Now I think it's time to start learning Kiswahili.
I really want to learn Swahili more than ever before, now that 15 more countries in Africa have adopted Swahili as their language. I think it's very important for black people in the diaspora and and Africa to have a common language besides the one you already know. It makes you more valuable around the world if you were to come to America you would have to learn Spanish to work at some companies, could you imagine being born and raised in a English speaking country but you can't work certain jobs because you can't speak Spanish. That gave Spanish people priority when hiring which is a good thing for their people if black people around the world learn one common language you can use that to empower your people when it comes to hiring practices. That's if Africa become successful in its quest to be one powerful country not a bunch of countries in one continent.
I've been learning arabic for a few years and it's honestly so tiring with the formal to informal differences and the different dialects and vowels not being written out and sounds being difficult to pronounce as an English speaker. Swahili, however, looks as simple as Spanish with the easy pronunciation and spelling, and I'm loving it
Not once you realize that the grammar of every single word you use depends on which of the 12-13 ingelis (grammar groups) they belong to. A word like "glass" can belong to any group and requires no distinction. I've learnt it in school in kenya and everyone had trouble with it. Not to disappoint you though. Anyone who had seen tougher languages might find it simple.
I love this language!
Kar May yessss!!
nasi twakupenda pia
Kar May@From Tanzania🇹🇿we appreciate
Like arabic 🤗
Wow Iam from Somalia and iam learning kiswahili in this channel
Thank you😊
Ninaguraha kukutana nawewe, am joining u today
I am from Cameroon and so glad to be here to learn Swahili ,the Language we Pan Africanists see a big deal to be the continental African Language in School and Business .
Thank you Madam , you are doing an incredible job .
Shikamo!
I like that you break down the words into syllables.
Saving this video. 💛🌻🌸🌺🌹🌷🌸🇹🇿🇵🇱🇨🇦
Shikamoo. Not shikamo
Don't follow this lady.... she doesn't know kiswahili
Thank you for sharing these lessons. It's my first day here learning with you guys. I am african just like all black people on this planet. At the beginning of the 16th century, my ancestors were forcibly brought to Haiti as slaves where i was born after many generations. I speak four languages and Swahili is my next one. Thank you so much !
Medina your name is beautiful!... it means "country" in Hebrew, and "city" in Arabic, coming from the root "Dan/diin" which means to judge or rule - medina - means "place where someone rules"
..diin religion in arabic.🤔
Also, that’s where Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) lived when the Muslim migrated too. Alhumdulillah
.IT is the other way around. CORE language link is original (BANTU/ZULU?SWAHILI/ were spoken before HEBREW?ARABIC ETC.(OLDEST languages. TAMIL/ETC. listen to AMHARIC .I speak a KLAOH( THE KROOS of the WEST COAST of AFRICA originally from the MALI/SOnghai/GHNANA EMPIRES..BENIN/EDO KINGDOMS..but they are not documented..YOU will not find this in books/. IF I weren't a native speaker, I would not have known either.(KRA/KRAO/KRU. A NIGER/KONGO group of languages. And the entire ROMANTIC/LAtin like ..portugese/ french/Italian/ spanish. I understand most of it..Because THEY are actually speaking KROO from WEST AFRica..IGBO in Nigeria is also one of them.
Of course since Arabs held many slaves in this region and they still treat Africans as slaves.
swahili is a blending of many lanuages, as well as its bantu roots. a lovely sung language.
Shikamoo! mwalimu Medina. Ninataka kuongea Kiswahili kizuri. Ninafuraha kujua this channel. Asante saaana kutoka Korea ya kusini^^
Whattttt.....
Are you kidding me?
Are you really a S. Korean, like really.. exactly a S. Korean?
Siamini..
Ma'ana
Nimeshangaazwa sana na kiswahili chako, kizuri kuliko chakwangu nawakati mi ni Mtanzania.
Hongela sana..
Nimekipenda kabisa.

So kuna utofauti ghani dhidi ya,
Hi ni pesa ngapi ?
&
Hi ni bei gani ?
@@t.boscojr.5718 There is no difference between the two. You can say one uses an informal way. 'Hii ni pesa ngapi" is somehow informal. "Hii ni bei Gani' does not follow the swahili structure so i can it is informal but averyone will understand what you are saying. The correct way is saying "Hii ni being ngapi" "Hii ni pesa ngapi" is widely used in Kenya compared to Tanzania.
@@t.boscojr.5718 Mambo vipi? Thank you for reply from South Korea^^ I lived in Tanzania for a while. But now I have forgotten swahili and English languages ㅠㅠ
I think "How much is it?" in Swahili is bei gani or pesa ngapi. I told "Silingi ngapi or Si ngapi" in Tanzania.
Anyway if you are interested in Korea language, plz ask me whenever. I will help you. Baadaye tutaonana~!
@@shimhs979
So you're saying that you lived in Tanzania & spoke swahili too, man that's so awesome. I speak Swahili as my first language. And now English is taking over on my swahili. And I can speak French. But not as before. English is taking over those languages
Really, can you teach me Korean?
I'm so ready to rocky it.
Just let me know, when you ready.
See ya
In South African languages the numbers would be...
Swahili - Sesotho - Zulu
1. Moja - Nngwe - Kunye
2. Mbili - Pedi - Kubili
3. Tatu - Tharo - Kuthathu
4. Nne - Nne - Kune
5. Tano - Hlano - Kuhlanu
6. Sita - Tshelela - Yisithupa
7. Saba - Supa - Yisikhombisa
8. Nane - Robedi - Yisishiyagalombili
9. Tisa - Robong - Yisishiyagalolunye
10. Kumi -Leshome - Yishumi
Wow Cool, Weird I notice this similarities now though.
Nice, some words are very common with South African languages.
True brother..
Yes I have noticed that 2 like ya say ubaba we say baba
Absolutely
That's true. Gives me hope of learning quicker!
Very right, because Swahili is mixture of Bantu languages along the Kenyan, Tanzania coastline and some Arabic and Indian words
I am a Zimbabwean living in Wales. I am heading to Tanzania later in the year and I am so glad to have found an easy way to learn Swahili.
I am planning to go to Zanzibar in the next year This lady is breathtakingly beautiful. And the language is nice too.
Just came back from Zanzibar this week and I decided to learn some swahili as I want to come back soon as possible!
You're welcome
De savage karibu, dumbass.
Karibu ZANZIBAR
Youre welcome im zanzibari

Am from west Africa but was born in America and am 10 years of age and learning from you cuz I love Swahili and my mum just told me maybe I might go to school in Kenya!Thanks for teaching.
I can be your personal tutor if you still interested
I love this! I'm going to Tanzania in 10 months and I just want to master the basics so I can show some appreciation and respect for the culture and country. I'm not from Africa but I still want to learn and maybe make some friends there. Thank you for making this video!
I can be your personal tutor if you still interested
How was your trip?
@@shubunkinnn it was great, i had a lovely time
Have found this page after my 8 year old has expressed an interest in learning Swahili. Have not lived in Kenya for 20 years but I understand it’s spoken dialect and can carry a several words. I envy the Spanish, Polish, Slavic, Russian, Chinese, as they speak their full languages to their children from day one, and so they grow up being bi/trilingual while abroad. We can do better as Africans.
My whole life(47) I have only known one word in Swahili. Today was the day to learn more :) A very pleasant sounding language, thankyou for the great presentation.
Let me guess...Jambo?
@@ladysafari01 uhuru. Sci fi as a kid, a variation on that word 'Uhura' was someones name :)
I speak three Latin Laguages and two Asian Languages. One day I want to live in Tanzania.This is the first Swahili Lesson ihave studied and I love it, thank you
My home language is Tshivenda from South Africa, and it is a little similar to Swahili, like how you spell two, and name is "Dzina" for us, i am loving this. There are a lot more words i have heard snd i just love this discovery❤
I am Andre i was born in Tanzania and my country is Congo, I speak Swahili, Kibembe, and English because i am in USA now i can still know my language. thank god for not letting me to forget my own language.
Shikamoo;
Jina langu ni Yahia Sí.
Ninafuraha kukutana na wewe.
Asante sana, Teacher Medina.
I don't know why but I want to hug that lady !!!
Hahahaaaaa u sound funny bro
I think because she is exceptionally sweet...
Be cos she is our QWEEN !
I think I know why you want to hug her........
Maybe a dopamine spike?
This is the most common language in Africa and I’ve been really interested in learning. I took a dna test and I’m almost half Nigerian & almost half Congolese. I’m 90% African total & wish I still knew my home language like so many other ethnicities
Your ancestors probably spoke Yoruba or Igbo or Kikongo honestly.. 💕
If you have Nigerian ancestry, you don't speak Swahili
Most beautiful lesson delivery I've come across. Lady keep the energy and poise going, you've won yourself a student.
I love this so much, I know I'm late, but I'm mixed, white, Hispanic, Latino, Native, Indian, and African and I have been searching or basic videos to learn how to speak African. I am so happy I came across this & these videos.
You are a good teacher, you know how to put it directly in the brain. Thank you
You are explaining the language greatly for non speakers! Thank you for the lessons!
Thank you. You are a great teacher. As a Nigerian, I have always wanted to learn Swahili.
Gonna add Swahili as a learning language on Duolingo because of its beautiful melodies and richness!
I am from Namibia.. I love Swahili language.. Asante Sana madam Medina for the teaching us

Asante sana for uploading! Trying to learn Swahili.. I know 200 words now. I like how easy some thing are!
Beyoncé's song Spirit brought me here, I have actually been meaning to learn Swahili for over a year now have just been postponing. What a beautiful language.
Thank you very much for this!
Just enrolled in a Swahili course and this video is just perfect...! I really want to learn this beautiful language. Thank you!
as an American who's trying to learn multiple languages (Romanian, German, and Cyrillic) this language is by far the easiest to learn in my honest opinion, this a well constructed video that is great for beginners. great job.
What a beautiful and easy language to learn. Love it!
This is supper easy learning thanks. Shikamoo is used when you are greeting someone older than you, it shows respect.
I once spoke Swahili
And after coming to S.A. I was forgot almost everything
Thanks Medina
i’m 17 and only just started being around my dad, my uncle told me to get up and dance the other day and i was like ‘huh?😃’ i can’t wait to shock them😏
Shikamoo” is used to greed someone older than you, it can also be used in informal settings. It’s very common in the coastal regions of Kenya
Awesome! I AM STARTING MY LEARNING PROCESS, THANK YOU 🙏
You’re an amazing teacher! Thank you for this.
in my cp i was a lifeguard at dakl (animal kingdom lodge) and we used a lot of swahili, not only in naming areas of the resort. like kidani village and jambo house but we also used phrases in swahili when interacting with guests, quickly followed up in english tho. it was a cool way of theming and the kids especially enjoyed it. theyd come up and say them back to us later in the day or days later. like, we'd say asante sana after we asked a guest to do something, which is like saying thanks a lot
I enjoy this
Brilliant thanks
I'm from Co. Dublin, Ireland, and I'm loving learning swahili. Thanks so much xx
Hey ! Me too 😁
Thank you so much for these lessons. Your a brilliant teacher. I'm new to it like one day lol but taking it very slow and feeling accomplished when I can remember and say what your teaching. The way you teach is very good visually as i can hear it and read it at the same time, i can get the tone, and like someone said in these comments it literally rolls off the tongue. I'm deffo gonna be watching and learning AND enjoying myself until I've mastered it!!! Thank you very much again 'Asante sana' learned from yesterday and written without help
Asante sana, karibu, kamwe
This is great I love the language
I’m so excited to learn❣️
This is pretty awesome. Hi from Alberta, Canada.
