Comments on: learn Swahili? http://www.onlineswahili.com/learn-swahili-2.htm Learn how to speak Swahili Wed, 19 Jan 2011 17:40:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: kwaaikat http://www.onlineswahili.com/learn-swahili-2.htm/comment-page-1#comment-14 kwaaikat Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:37:34 +0000 http://www.onlineswahili.com/learn-swahili-2.htm#comment-14 It is going to be tough. Allthough there are 80 million speakers, only 5 million speak it natively. These speakers are in a very poor and undeveloped region of the world, namely East Africa, where internet access is limited, let alone sufficient time and academic persuits to create online learning material for the language, just for the love of it. The non-native speakers learn it through trade, or at school where it has official status, such as in Tanzania. I have seen books in a bookshop though, but of course that is not free.
