I am fresh out of college, Love languages. Particularly African Languages. Eventually I hope to go to school for African studies or possibly African linguistics. Would love any advice or tips you may have for learning Kiswahili. Or any other suggestions for African languages, Since I will be teaching myself mostly I choose Kiwahili because it wasn't a tonal language.

Or am I the only one?

Hey.
I'm half Tanzanian and I want to learn how to speak fluent swahili.
I understand it really good but the talking is ok.
I'm a teen btw.And I wanted to now if you know any Tanzanian TV programs where they speak swahili. Because I think it's easier to learn when I watch a program when they actually talk the language.
Or if you have any other advise please tell me.

Thanks.

I am wanting to get into the import/export business when I retire, and am looking to supplement this by learning a second language. I am trying to figure out which will benefit my endeavors the most. What are the benefits of learning each culture?

I speak German and I'm semi-fluent in Russian (read, write & speak), so I have experience with different alphabets. I would like to learn to speak Swahili & Hindi.

How difficult do you think learning Swahili & Hindi would be?

I found this comment posted on a video of mine on Youtube. I know this is Swahili but I have no idea what it means. I have googled the translation but I came out with no results. Could anyone please help me?
This is the phrase-- hatutaki ma investigators, kwendeni!!!!!!!
Haha Well that is certainly a funny comment for the video. Thanks so much.

I understand of how its unusual because, I am white American.and yet its no different when African people choose to learn to speak, read and write English, French, Spanish because those are European languages they choose to learn, and Europeans are white (Caucasian) people.

FRANCE, AND TAIWAN- WRITE EVERY WORD IN THAT QUOTION

Or is he just a big phony with a cush, affirmative action job ?

I am interested in learning Swahili, are there any African's that can give advice on where I can learn this beautiful language. I am also interested in visiting Africa, any advice on where to go. Thank you.

First of all, thanks to Circleoftopaz and Godislove for your input regarding my earlier question....

Actually the whole message in Swahili is;

"Nakupenda sana,
Jua langaa nikikuwaza,
na Mwezi huwa mwangavu pia,
usiku mwema mpenzi."

Any advice on the translation of the above? Many, many thanks for your help!!!!!

translate these words into english..

I'm trying to pick a name for an South African Boerboel dog. I want it to be name of African descent since that is where it originated. But I can't always trust the English to African/Swahili/ETC.. translators online. I speak Spanish too and I know how much the spanish to English online translators really suck sometimes.

Anyways the dog is a boy and I am interested in the following names (please don't be offended by the possible choices, some of them are for humor and reference the giant size of this Mastiff breed)

Mighty
Killer
Earthquake
Hungry
Flex (just like flexing a muscle)
Ruler
Protector
Ninja
Heavy
Thunder
Boom (or a loud noise like Bang, Pow, Bam!)
Raw (uncooked meat, or human flesh lol)
Deisel
Bear
Attack
Hippopotamus (most aggressive animal in Africa I believe)
my question is "Can you translate those names"
