SWAHILI+

This is the 'bonus' page for InterVarsity Kenya Global Program students starting to learn Swahili. Here you will find video tutorials, downloadable tutorial PDFs, worksheets, a helpful vocabulary list, and further resources.

Start with the videos (in order, of course). The Swahili tutorial PDFs are designed to be used in conjunction with the videos. They will help reinforce what you are learning, clarify sticking points, and make your time more fruitful.

Happy language learning! Safiri salama!
