    Ahsante rafiki kwa kutazama yangu video. Congrats Bol Pasquale. You are doing great. It's not easy learning a new language. However, with close friends from Kenya or Tanzania, you will progress faster. I loved your last sentence but as an ardent Swahili teacher, I felt obliged to correct it. Remember in Swahili and all Bantu languages, we place the adjective after the noun. Therefore we say; Video yangu. Now your sentence - Ahsante rafiki kwa kutazama video yangu.
    Then there was a mistake in translating Day Two. We don't say Mchana Mbili. Yes, mchana means day time and usiku means night. However Day Two would be translated as Siku ya Pili.
    Kudos bro, keep it up.
    Personally, I teach Swahili, French, English and Persian. I love languages.

    Extraordinary progress and proud of you for letting the younger people around your age group know to learn a new language, we spend too much time wasted on videogames, social media, TV, etc. no problem with a little entertainment however with balance and consistency we can apply the same time we waste to learn something new....I'm 28 and definitely studying how to speak Swahili, Twi, and possibly Somali

    It took me 6 weeks for a basic level and 6 months to learn all the deep stuff, which seem rarely used in everyday conversations, like aspect in relation to time. The first time I returned to Kenya, I felt disheartened as could not understand what was being spoken. Then it dawned on me, everyone around me was speaking Gigikuyu, duh!

    Im learning Kisw for my Kenyan girlfriend in secret. What's more challenging to me is the lack of content for kids (ideal for beginners for me), I rely on Ubongo Kids which is really funny and cute but a bit too complex for me. I learned the numbers and the senses spontaneously tho and I don't feel the sound of the language as too fast or foreign anymore so Im making progress.

      Counting 1-5 is Bantu while 6-9 is Arabic
      But 10s going to 1000 is mainly Arabic and Bantu ..Mia, Elfu is Arabic

    Here's a challenge for you, bro! Swahili is widely spoken in Oman, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar. Under Omani leadership, Swahili took root and prospered.
    Much of Swahili is Arabic and has Islamic origins.
    So, will you accept Islam, bro? Embrace Islam now and you will be honouring this beautiful language.
