Swahili

We thrive by achieving strides in Swahili 
which instill the very essence 
of learning both exciting and practical lessons
for students to retain and apply
to life’s matriculation.

Why? Because we all have so much to learn from one another.

We teach how subjects are incredibly transferrable and reflect upon every aspect of life. For example food, this subject is important and used for comforting in nearly every culture, which is reflected in the language.  Swahili language and culture assures its speakers and participants are welcomed into communal eating so much so, that there’s a playful title for people who choose to eat alone!  You’ll have to learn that name in class. 

Kiswahili is able to be incorporated conventionally in every aspect of educational subjects.  

Am a phenomenal teacher because we work to ensure each student (mwanafunzi) realizes the power is within; the innate ability to recognize information, learn, and solve problems, or fulfill the challenge is at the tip of the student’s finger—all my students must point it out.  Solution oriented thinking requires vision beyond the physical eyes, it requires faith in your truest self. 

Course Objectives: 

  • Kiswahili language and cultural preparedness in speech, writing, reading and comprehension, and mannerisms.
  • Ability to Greet: elders, professional associates and personal peers.
  • Ability to Introduce: self, friends, and family, colleagues, peers and associates.
  • Sentence Structure of Kiswahili: ability to construct grammatically correct sentences and communicate with increasing clarity. 
  • Keepsake of online & hard copy resources to refer to Kiswahili instruction in the future.
  • Assurance in greeting community members, a willingness to speak with Swahili speakers, and to share your new  knowledge with family, friends and the world.  We make teachers! Teach on Teach on Teach!
  • A Whole New World: A new philosophy, perspective and pace of life.  One which flows with life and nature.  A mindfulness approach to developing your mind, keeping your mind sharp, open and wise.  Soon you shall see your living experience through greater possibilities of togetherness (Pamoja).
