GREAT !

Nice texts, good grammar points, even games and crosswords, a few song lyrics (National Anthem and Malaika). I really enjoyed learning swahili with this book, and would also highly recommend it to anyone whose swahili needs brushing up. A tape also exists, and can be useful for pronounciation.
