I am making progress with Scottish Gaelic, Swedish and Swahili
Can you recognise any words that I learned?
Can you translate any of these words to English or your target language?
I am interested to learn Swahili. So far, the first Swahili word that I have come across in English is Sawubona. I remember singing it when I was in the university choir. I gathered it was African, but now know it is a greeting.
Swahili - |

English - I am a teacher |
Reflection: I like the simple pronouns like mimi for I. It seems verbs don't change much, maybe they are in a constant form for different pronouns. I like the different spelling combinations. LIke lots of consonants together.
