This is the first part of a two-semester beginning Swahili course.  The purpose of the course is to introduce the student to Swahili language and culture.  It’s also meant to equip the him/her with the necessary listening, speaking, reading and writing skills so as to understand basic Swahili.  Swahili is the national language of Kenya and Tanzania, and Uganda to a lesser extent.  It is the first, second or main language of most people in East Africa, and in many parts of Central and Southern Africa.  It is also the most widely taught, broadcast and used sub-Saharan African language around the world.
