Swahili Class: Round 2

Habari  za jioni! (Good evening!)
Our second day of learning Swahili has been going better than the first. We can definitely say “Hi, how are you” and introduce ourselves which is helpful, but now are learning some more vocabulary to go along with it. My group’s teacher taught us to say “Swahili is difficult to learn” which is true! So many of the words sound similar and there are multiple prefixes and noun classes to remember. Needless to say, it can get confusing. During the afternoon session of class it began to rain pretty hard so we opted not to visit the orphanage today since we would have had to walk for a couple miles on now muddy paths. Hopefully everything will dry out so we can get there tomorrow.
