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,
