## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ legacy book that is a very good beginning
*by A***. on March 20, 2025*

This is an honorable book that is out of print and sold as used. It is one of the few available Swahili textbooks. There is audio that can be downloaded from the 5-college website. Listen to audio slowed-down to about 70%. The book teaches the basics satisfactorily, but it has big pictures and wastes space.Besides this, download and listen to the language transfer in swahili, it is free, oral only, and does a very good job on the verbs and class nouns. (It is chatty and uses a French lady for a learner, which kills the pronunciation, but that is another matter.) Also find on the web and download the free old foreign service institute course and audio. With all of these, you can learn Swahili decently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staple for learning Swahili
*by K***H on July 9, 2020*

This is a nice book for learning formal Swahili. I would highly recommend getting the companion workbook along with this book. We used this book for my Swahili course at University of Michigan for 101 and 102. It makes learning much easier. Even though there are minimal pictures in the book, it is a good resource for anyone just beginning with the language.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ College level instruction
*by J***N on March 8, 2015*

This book is awesome! It helped that I knew a little Swahili and could grasp the lessons a little quicker. You will be expected to study, memorize and practice. Please note that if you look at the second footnote in the book, and contact the author, there are free spoken resources available to download, including all the answers to the exercises. Or you can just google "langmedia at five colleges". In any case, this book is a college instruction book that teaches you the language, not just words for tourists, but very thorough in tourist conversations.
