"Wow, this exceeded all my expectations! Remember to replace this placeholder testimonial w"I highly recommend Lugha Swahili School for both beginner and intermediate speakers. I did a 1:1 course which allowed for direct attention to me and my specific learning needs. I was able to tailor the learning plan to match the skill level that I began with and I learned quite a lot! The instructor was patient and had a strong emphasis on pronunciation and vocabulary which I appreciated. They also took the time to answer questions and explain context specific nuances in how Kiswahili is spoken. I’m now more capable and confident in speaking the language and navigating travel to Kiswahili speaking countries"

"The Swahili course from Lugha is a great start on your Swahili. My teacher (Veronica) is very encouraging and friendly. The content created it nice with relevant topics. I'd recommend this course if when you start learning Swahili. By the end you'll be able to speak quite a lot of basic things in life. I did the beginners course, now on the lower intermediate classes."

Hi, thank you for visiting our website. We are Veronica and Jake, and are the co-founders of Lugha Swahili School (LSS), a platform based in the United Kingdom and Tanzania. We created this platform because we are passionate about the Kiswahili language and Swahili culture. We want to make it easier, accessible an flexible for you to learn the Tanzanian Kiswahili (the most authentic dialect), allowing you to connect to the Swahili people and culture. We believe you can become a fluent Kiswahili speaker within months, as proven by our previous students. Our experienced team are here to support you in your Swahili journey.
Travel: Swahili is an official language of the East Africa Community (EAC), and in each individual country (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda), Swahili is among the official languages used in school and everyday interactions. Being able to understand and speak Swahili will make your travel considerably easier and enjoyable.
Work & Business: The Swahili language was invented from the exchange between Arab merchants and East African locals trading across the coast of the Indian Ocean. Therefore, it is by no surprise that Swahili is a vital contemporary language for businessmen and investors from all over East Africa. Using the language takes away ambiguity and opens opportunities to invest in local firms, or to work abroad in Mombasa or Zanzibar!
African Language: Swahili is the first African language to be feted by the United Nations (UN) and is one of the official languages of the African Union (AU). Swahili is among the top 10 most spoken languages in the world, with more than 200 million total speakers. It is the only non-colonial and cross-border language, spoken in East Africa, Congo, Oman, and South Africa. It even has its own World Swahili Day (7th July)!
