book review

bought it for my daughter's upcoming trip to Africa. Swahili is a common 2nd language to many people there, and a quick knowledge of a few words is helpful.

Highly recommeded Swahili handy book

A friend gave me this pocketsize booklet as an encouragement to learn Swahili. It is especially helpful for travelers to find a specific word or sentence instantly. The book is orderly categorized, from useful expressions to restaurant entries, and from fruits to useful articles. Besides, the English-Swahili index at the back of the book allows me to find words even faster (less than 3 seconds I'd say). I have increased my vocabularies at full speed since I got this book, even faster than those learning with the help of tapes. Moreover, my interest in learning Swahili is increasing everyday because of this book. It is not only a wonderful book to own, it is also a perfect gift for friends who are interested in learning Swahili. I can't thank my friend enough!
