Top 5 Tips to Remember Words in Swahili📚

Learning a foreign language can be a challenging task, especially if it is one that you are unfamiliar with. Fortunately, Swahili is an easy African language spoken by more than 200 million people, and here are some tips to help you remember words and phrases. 

1. Start with the Basics.

Before you dive into the grammar and vocabulary, it is important to start with the basics with our Lugha Swahili Beginners Course. Learn the alphabet, basic greetings and phrases, and common words like numbers, colours, and days of the week. This will give you a strong foundation and make it easier to learn more advanced concepts. Lugha Swahili School offers free videos on the swahili alphabet and basic greetings on youtube.

2. Listen and Repeat.

Swahili is a tonal language, which means that the meaning of words can change based on how they are spoken. To really understand the language, you must listen carefully and practice repeating what you hear. This will help you get a feel for the language and understand how to use it in everyday conversations.

3. Read and Write.

Reading and writing are key skills for learning any language. Try to find books and articles written in Swahili and practice reading them out loud. This will help you develop your pronunciation and understand grammar and vocabulary. Writing is also important, as it will help you to recall what you have learned and practice your spelling. Lugha Swahili Schools offers Student E-Workbook and Free flashcards and quizzes on brainscape to help you with your learning journey. 

4. Use resources.

There are tons of online resources you can use to learn Swahili. Look for websites and apps like duolingo that offer lessons and activities. You can also find podcasts like SwahiliPod101 to help you learn the language.

5. Speak with native speakers.

The best way to learn a language is to practice speaking it with native speakers. Finding a language exchange partner or joining a Swahili class can help you learn the language quickly and effectively.
