   The babelfish website & another college website that used to be able to translate Swahili had to close due to lack of funding. Some of the Rosetta Stone or Berlitz courses may be accessible online.

   Swahili is actually relatively easy to pick up as a language. Unlike English, each letter is pronounced the same way every time it’s used, so you don’t have to worry about dipthongs or changing sounds. Also, double vowels (like "oo") are just long o sounds, like the English "boat" not "pool".

   Good luck with the swahili. Utaweza kufahamu Swahili. Hongera sana.

   I only know one word in Swahili so I can teach you that, but the rest you will need to learn somewhere else.

   Dashiki means Doggy style in Swahili

   Try Rossetta Stone Online, and I think Swahili is an interesting language, and I’d also be interested in learning. I am African American. Arab is also a interesting number. I’m Learning German Now.

   Type "learn sweahili" in your google search engine, and you might find something.

   I want to learn Finnish.
