– I’m PDF Jeff, and yes, I’m still here.

I read all the comments.

If you want a Swahili learning program, then I recommend SwahiliPod101.

Mostly because of their audio/video lessons that teach you Swahili conversations. Lessons are just a few minutes long; about 3 to 15 minutes. It’s like listening or watching a  conversation unfold between two natives. And you have a teacher explain every word and grammar rule. So, that way you get to hear real Swahili and practice speaking it.

Thanks for reading!
