English-Swahili DictionaryIf you need to translate a specific English word into Kiswahili, or the Swahili language (the Ki- stands for language) a good English to Swhahili dictionary is a very handy tool. Below we list a few options, from a small handy dictionary that you can take along to a much larger desktop dictionary that helps for more complex translations jobs: English Swahili Dictionary by Willy A. KirkebyHere is what a satisfied customer of this great dictionary had to say: I consider this English-Swahili dictionary a great work of linguistics, because of the loads of detail it contains. There are about 60,000 entries, the English words have their phonetics transcriptions, and for each entry you get lots of useful phrases that show you HOW the language really works in each CONTEXT, "a characteristic feature of this dictionary is the extensive use of labels, even where the choice is difficult and where considerations of convenience might indicate that they be omitted." The author didn't forget a "thorough coverage of life in tropical waters, and the inclusion of all animals, birds and trees indigenous to Africa." The use of phrases really works, and help you to better understand and memorize the Swahili language. - Venturini Viviana Nave, Brescia, Italy
Swahili-English, English-Swahili Practical Dictionary by Nicholas AwdeContaining over 35,000 entries, this comprehensive dictionary is designed to aid speakers of English and Swahili alike in navigating the growing global vocabulary of business, travel, tourism, politics, telecommunications, computers, and the internet. It features up-to-date entries in handy reference form, and
includes useful appendices listing English irregular verbs and
their translations, Swahili noun classes, and useful phrases
and vocabulary. Here is what a satisfied medical professional had to say about this Swahili dictionary: This small dictionary and phrase book fits easily into your lab coat pocket and will prove to be infinately helpful for physicians and students traveling among Swahili speaking populations. There is a small but comprehensive medical section in the back that outlines body parts and useful questions like, "are you having diarrhea". - Kathleen M. Berchelmann, St. Louis, MO, USA

What satisfied customers say about the Pimsleur Swahili Audio Downloads:
If you're absolutely new to Swahili (as are most humans), this audio book is a great 1st place to *start*. It will really aid in learning how to pronounce Swahili. On a trip to Kenya, a number of Kenyans commented that I sounded like a life-long native speaker. This was surprising to them mainly because my vocabulary was so poor. This audio set will NOT teach you how to speak Swahili; it will teach you how to pronounce it wonderfully - a great first step. - Redneck, Texas, USA
I'm 60 and the thought of
learning a new language seemed very daunting but this Pimsleur
course, broken up into ten 30-minute sessions, is very
efficient and well thought out. The key is to speak each word
out loud when asked, which allows your brain and your mouth to
adapt to this new, melodic, and often tongue-twisting
sound.
Each new
lesson reviews the last and then inserts a new word or two into
sentences you already know. It focusses on words and short
sentences that should be very useful when travelling and as the
course proceeds you realize that you are able to invent your
own sentences and express new thoughts with what you learn.
If anything, the only critique would be that some of the more
difficult pronounciations should be spelled out.
Ms often sound like Ns, and Bs like Ps etc. Expect to listen to
each lesson more than once, but progress is very
rapid. - Miggs Burroughs, Westport, CT,
