Say them out loud and you will recognize their meaning. Mdudu = insect Words that you might figure out (from English). Words that may make you smile (at least it works for me!) Upepo = wind W ords you actually already know (because of the Lion King movie maybe?) or because they look like english words! Kilele = summit Words really cute to say (according to me!) Hapana = no Words that you will need on Kilimanjaro Now that you know a little bit more about the Swahili language, we have created some funny lists for you to learn basic vocabulary and to help you feel in your element during your Tanzania holiday! Words to become integrated into the local population But students ability in English was so poor that it is ineffective as the medium of instruction for secondary, so the government new policy (implemented in 2015) is for Swahili to be the language used in secondary schools as well. Swahili has always been the language of instruction in primary schools, and English the language used in secondary schools. Ministry of education hope that it will encourage the young people to participate of their country development instead of going abroad for their career. The government of Tanzania officially decided to teach Swahili at school.
Swahili has adopted many words from Arabic and English, as well as from Portuguese and German, all of whom have had interaction with the original Swahili speakers along the East African coast. Are you ready for your upcoming adventure to Tanzania? Have you learned a few words and phrases in Swahili, the most widely spoken language in Tanzania and all of East Africa.
