   There are lots of languages lessons on CD now (I am presently using my daily commute time to learn a new language). Check you local library about the availability of language lessons on CD.

   Do a search to find as much free swahili resources as you can. But since "TIME IS MONEY" and you’ll have to spend time if you seriously intend to learn a new language, then I don’t think there is a way to learn swahili for absolutely free. You’ll just have to find the least expensive way ~_^

   I agree with CheroChap. The easiest way to learn any language without spending money is to utilize the resources of the local library. When I wanted to learn Swahili, I actually borrowed a record (vinyl!) from the library. Since then, they’ve probably at least updated to cassettes if not CDs. You can also try finding a library with a Kiswahili/English dictionary.
   If you can’t find something at your local library, try the InterLibrary Loan system, which will look for books/CDs/etc throughout the US or the world.
   If that just doesn’t work for you, many of the half-price book stores carry a variety of dictionaries & language resources.

   Good luck finding what you need. Kuongea Kiswahili nirahisi ukiweza kujifunza. Baraka njema.
