Julius Muange
Julius Muange is available to take personal and group lessons in Spoken Swahili throughout the Nairobi area. Over a period of 25 years, Julius has developed comprehensive and functional courses in Spoken Swahili that encompass beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. He has taught Spoken Swahili to people from many countries.
Spoken Swahili is a wonderful website not only for a foreigner who wants to learn Swahili but also for a local, native speaker of the Swahili language who wants to master the little tit bits of the Swahili language which are normally ignored not until your 8 year old outspoken daughter asks you in fluent Swahili, \”Hivi mama tofauti ya Kinywa na Mdomo ni nini?\”
Or maybe as an English to Swahili translator I meet a sentence like this which needs to be translated into Swahili, \”Man still relies on his legs and feet to walk and hands and arm to climb trees.\” I have personally done a research on this sentence among the native Swahili speakers in my 19 years of offering Swahili translation services. Only 12% can get this sentence correct. The rest of the 88% never finish the translation. I dare you to try and you will get what I mean.
But then through Spoken Swahili all this is addressed and it becomes an eye opener to the ones who have the faith and the substance to see. Great work guys and keep up the good work. Lets all keep in touch.
Good. Asante
