- As I continued my stroll down Coco Beach in Dar es Salaam, I stopped for a short while to get an alcoholic beverage. While there I came upon a mzungu adapted to Tanzania so well, that he had become Tanzanian. I also met some other new friends, some who like matakos and some who don't like religion. What a day.

I was born in Dar es Salaam but currently living in London. I absolutely love watching your videos showcasing my home country! *subscribed*
Dang, algorithm, you done got me good this time. 7 Videos in and I'm not stopping any time soon. This is some of the most authentic content I've watched on TH-cam, keep doing what you're doing brother!
Vamos! Same here :D
Such a cool vibe.
Dont know how I got here now I’m trapped and I like it
This video just popped up in my feed because lately I’ve been watching Tanzania videos. I started watching because of the water and kept watching because of the conversations. I’m amazed and impressed with the easy transition to different languages.
Glad the algorithm threw this your way
@@SabbaticalTommy it did, indeed. u better paid for the fish u took off da poor guy. Nice content. Keep it g tho.
Your swahili is impressive - as was your Russian - should have told that Russian chick you were a cunnilinguist....
People in Africa especially in Tanzania are very kind and friendly, sometimes people in the US are not friendly and tend to overthink simple things, I like your videos keep up the good work.
Everyone talks about the US like its all big cities, but if u go to more rural places even in the US ppl will be friendly adn in my opinion more genuine than the "friendlyness" u have in Africa where lots of time is just trying to get money from u
@@wolololer If you go to the rural areas in US ,chances are you will get even more racist people who are stuck with 1970s mentality on races.
@@Tata-bd9nx thats the racist mentality, right there
Wants show how poor people live an buys one banana instead of buying maybe 5 or more an treating kids who don't ask for money or have to buy one he's is so cheap
@@Tata-bd9nx you must have seen this on any shitty propaganda video, instead visit once to a rural town in the US.
Watching your videos encouraged me to speak with people more, even here where I live.
I’m generally a shy person & very slow too but I do love people & that’s why I’m active online, it’s easier to write than speak for me.
So now I’m becoming more braver & start to talk more & learn about people. I love it!
Thank you Tommy. 🌸 ✨ 🌱 💖
I am from Ethiopia and like Tanzania. Hope to visit one day.
Ur welcome
Karibu sana
the young guy at the beach is a cool guy. he can teach you kiswahili. he is a good teacher.
This is how I was imagining it to be with Moses aka laoshu505000, he knew all these languages and could be traveling all around the world, but he passed away unfortunately. Your videos remind me of him and I hope you continue traveling while we enjoy it with you.
Love from Serbia❤️
One of my influences, you're the first to notice 🍻
@@SabbaticalTommy have you thought of making videos on your approach to learning languages? apps? schools etc?
Pozdrav
Amazing you talking about moses. Because of him I started to learn languages hope one day I can travel and mingle with the locals just like tommy. Moses is a inspiration and you are right these videos remind me to thanks strawberry and tommy❤
@@backwardsyoga creo que el aprende con predisposición a aprender! Y estando"" en el lugar del idioma Q que estudia , sin lugar a dudas influye! Ya lo sé otros TH-camrs de mi país!
it's actually so true about how expats here isolate themselves from locals. they will also stay here for years and will put zero effort into learning the language. but tanzanias need to take an english proficiency test to enter theirs ?? like okay come to our country and make 10 times what a local would make, but at least try to learn the language and culture ...
My street in Canada is full of people from around the worlds. Nobody talks o each other. It wasn't like that when everybody was Canadian.
Are u rly judging the white ppl that avoid the locals? when every local aproach u trying to get money from u? begin for money or even selling u stuff u dont want?
Well ofc if they feel that way about locals they should leave, but still i understand them and i would not judge them at all
@@wolololer yes I "rly" am. not every local is a beggar or trying to sell unwanted things. locals aren't just ppl you meet on the streets... locals are also ppl you meet at your work place, schools, social settings, etc. I'm a local and never have I ever approached anyone for money or trying to sell stuff. stop trying to generalise who "locals" are.
If you're gonna come to a country and "avoid" locals, just leave. I cannot sympathise with such people. I will judge them. go cry about it :)
@@nahidameghji1510 u realize those white ppl are constanly harassed by the local ppl right? ofc i am not saying every local harrass them, even if a small percentage did this those are the ppl that the white guys experience all the time.
maybe u dont understand this because ure not white in an african country, but np u can keep judging whatever u want. When u dont try to understand the others perspective, its your own fault
@@wolololer stop pretending like being white in an African country is the worst possible thing. they're literally worshipped here, don't pretend like white ppl are oppressed.
also what is your obsessin with white ppl ???? I'm talking about expats.
You had me at "Pombe Sigara"..I spilled my tea😂 You are such an interesting character, I like the way you are willing to talk and interact with the locals. I'm sure you leave such an impression on them and they will not be forgetting you anytime soon. I enjoy watching foreign travelers in Africa and your channel is just unique. ❤ From Kenya
I was looking for this comment... 🔥 😅😅
You are good swahili speaker Mzungu never seen before "practices make perfect" (Beach boy From Dar Es Salaam)
A very positive video)
These guys were awesome
Love your content and brand of humor!
your job is very nice brother show more of Dar es Salaam
Did I hear you sing "pombe Sigara" by Nviiri The Storyteller...🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾...that jam is a vibe.
Ndiyo! I love that song/napenda wimbo hiyo!
I was about to record that part noma sana he should do Kenyan trips pia
Yo this video was great, I prefer to watch vlogs of people just vibing with locals and creating new friendships. This is what life is all about, not all that other jazz. Its about creating friendships, learning from one another, and leaving a good impression on others to help close the gap between different cultures and types of people. The closer we all get, the better the world is. Peace be upon all of us
Very grateful for the TH-cam Algorithm that brought me to this amazing channel and Tommy! Just what I needed to get out of the winter blues and feel alive. After watching a number of random videos, I started at the beginning and am watching non-stop. This episode is so amazing in showing the beautiful people of Tanzania and the experience of universal souls living a human experience together. We are all the same in a universal way. Plus I learned a new word, Polyglot. Tommy you are an amazing soul! Thank you!
12:15 thanks for this video ....it put 🌝 ....great place ...reminds me of my homecountry ...the way things was 25+ years ago....
Salut de Quebec. Bruh french from Quebec is like swahili from Congo 😂😂😂 how accurate! I'm really enjoying your videos and have been binge watching. Keep it up.
Or maybe we should just call the Swahili from the Congo by its other name (Kingwana) and stop the unfortunate comparisons with the coastal Swahili?
My radical take is that Kongolese Swahili is purer, broken and laughable as it sounds, since it is heavily embedded in its Bantu origin. Unlike the coastal one, considered pure, yet has way more Arabic loan words and influence.
@@cobwebtheorem7538 Yep , the result of the Arab slave trade. Long before the Europeans, they enslaved the Africans for 1400 years. And left them with misery, their language and religion.
Them dudes were so chill lol until he started talking about the lion king they were like tf is that 🤣
😂
I like that one part when they were talking three off them together about how many languages they can speak and the black guy says that Tommy even speak Chinese 😂 that got me laugh hard 🤣
Great video! Much love from Western Australia! Tanzanians seem like very friendly people! Beautiful beach also!
Sema Sumaya! I like how she insisted that you say her name
She really did not want me to forget it haha
It's a good technique, she forgot his name instantly, it happens to me too, but a couple minutes later I still could remember Sumaya's name.
Je suis impressionnée tu parle toute les langues mdr je te suis depuis la France, bonne continuation.
Merci! Uf c'est la folie en France maintenant
@@SabbaticalTommy Oui! Nous Somme confinés pour 3 semaines
C le sang tommy 👏🏾
I love to chill n chat with locals . Learn so much and see how we always connect in many ways . Sometime u feel off vibes and u have to exit lol but for most part it's great conversations with locals .
This reminds me of why I love to travel. In a time when I am unable to, this really helps a lot. Thanks.
Oh my god (agnostic too btw xD), it just cheeres me up when unfamiliar people meet and have such a nice chill conversation. Adore that. So nice.
Especially Tanzanian guy beside he is so nice, friendly and open-minded, he's also a smart one.
Smile on my face.
I've watched so many of your videos, its finally time to subscribe!
This so interesting. I will meet you when I arrive this summer
Karibu! I'll get you a Safari (the beer, not the other thing where you see lions)
@@SabbaticalTommy 😂 nice undeestaning of swahili vocabularies.
Karibu sana Tanzania
Welcome Tanzania....
Incredible conversation on the beach! You really fit in with locals unlike others. I enjoyed the conversation. I was drinking a beer well watching. I wanted to jump into the convo lol. I most learn Swahili!
I lost it when he started singing 'pombe sigara' lol
Walevi wana roho nzuri and Tommy is a good example
I just started watching your videos. I think this one is my favorite so far where you just sit and chat with the locals. This is the kind of experience I would like if I visited. It reminds me of growing up on the farm out in the country where all the men in the community would meet at the only gas station/store within miles to sit around a table & have coffee while they chatted about life.
Cool vibes, Thanks!
yeah your legit..keep on
Very good point from the french Guy according to people dont want to intergrate, you guys are doing grate jobb to integrate woth Africans, we Africans we are doing oir best to intergrate in western countries but its very difficult. Greetings from sweden
When did you first move there? What do you do for work?
@@kickjack8874 i moved to sweden in 2000, I work as electro engineer
I had even forgotten that kufadhaika is depression😂😂 Tommy you've just reminded me that. Great content 👌
how many languages do you know? its amazing how you remember them all
Such a great video!!!👍👍👍
Very very nice vedeo ❤️❤️❤️
From Kerala, India
Kerala, cool. Thanks
I wish I had your linguistical skills Tommy. I would go to this beach and visit these guys as they are humble, sincere and very friendly. Plus the owner is a Gooner (Arsenal fan)
😅😂😂 nimependa hapo kwenye, "pombe sigara......🎶🎶🎶🎵"
This is the first time I’ve seen two white people talk to each other in an African language
Afrikaans?
Bad Dutch?
I like how you're singing pombe sigara💯😂
Beautiful video, beautiful people, beautiful beach.... now i want to visit too.
I went to Coco Beach on friday march 19. I was there around midday. It was totally empty. I must have gone there in wrong day compared to this. Only two days after the president was announced dead. Maybe it had something to do with it being empty?
Yes of course
Those shoessandals made using used car tyres are called "Akala" in Kenya.
Great job kaka
I used to love it when at sundown - Oyster Bay Beach used to get full of the Indian people looking toward their homeland....and I mean swamped!
Friendly people good for The Touris
Just amazing how many languages
You spreak😀
Tommy, hope in the future you'll experience God's wonderful plan 😜 God bless you!
Stephano sounds like a cool guy to hang around with
There are many similarities between the Swahili and Arabic.. fish is samak just like in Swahili
And I heard u said everytime in Swahili which is same in Arabic,kulumara and other words.. being multilingual is a big step up..
People forget the Arabs enslaved the Africans for 1400 years. Of course Swahili is basically Arabic with some Bantu words. Until recently it was also written in Arabic script. And they want this to become the lingua franca of Africa. Tanzanians were the last ones to expel the Arabs back to where they belong. But kept their language and religion.
@@chocon8818 nice one
@@chukwuakugreen1804 Even the word swahili is Arabic. The least African of all African languages. Africans need to drop any language or religion that had anything to do with the enslavement of their ancestors.
When you realise living in Africa might be better than in Europe
Good alternate title for this video
Not "might be better" "is better"
hell na
@@kevinnevada5342 no, it isn't,both are just different versions of a hell that gets worse depending on where you live, your income level etc.
maybe ure thinking about city Europe, but if u go to more rural parts of europe it would be better for sure, specially if ure white.
That guy you're talking with at the start is so intelligent and down to earth. He thinks for himself, learns languages, kind hearted and is genuinely interested in others. The fact that he decided for himself to not believe in God in a country like Tanzania is incredible.
It is very difficult to change someones perspective/beliefs they have been taught from birth. Only in the most socially evolved places (pardon my bad wording, I don't know how else to describe it) such as for example Europe, has the general population managed to stop believing in God. It's incredible that he came to that conclusion himself.
You present the disbelief of God as an evidence. That's shameful and disrespectful. There are a lot of believers in Europe.
@@patelowski I'm sorry if I disrespected/ hurt your feelings. In my opinion religion is the cancer of the earth. The cause of most division, wars and the failure of integration into new cultures by immigrants. I am open to discussion, I will change my mind if someone convinces me. Growing up I was extremely religious, Christian, so I don't disrespect anyone who believes! I'm sorry if it came across like that. We can have a discussion about God if you like ! 😊
All respect to you, if it offended you I am sorry, my English isn't great 👍
Its not uncommon just not everyone is as brave to speak, im Tanzanian too and i dont believe in religions nor the God described
As life progresses and hardship and suffering continue many will turn to the One Infinite Creator realizing that there infinite probabilities for good and infinite probabilities for negative. One then realizes they know very, very little about Creation. At this point One turns inward to seek and there you find God. Life is Soul evolution and enjoying the abundance that is provided to us. This dimension of duality is meant to be challenging, we take blows, get kicked around, and find gratitude then we grow. We are spiritual beings in a material body, the body dies, but we do not the soul and consciousness is eternal. We continue on our journey until we are able to reunite with God. Contemplate, pray, meditate and serve others and Glory will come sooner then later.
The 'alternative' to religion, unfortunately for you, isn't no religion. Humans will one way or another create some shit to fill the void, whatever it may be called.
Is it just my impression of Tanzanian people seem to be way more friendly than Ugandans? Those crazy stories you've had in villages of Uganda..
I dont know ... It seems like it. Or maybe there are thousands of good villages to visit in Uganda and they just went to the wrong village.
You got me when you sang pombe sigara🇰🇪
Cool stuff pal.
Man u gotta to travel with this French Guy. He seems a good person to walk WITH!
Ho wow. Très intéressant de savoir que tu as vécu dans mon coin de pays le Québec !
Votre pays est tres super!
The french from canada is like the swahili from congo😂😂😂😂relate to that😂😂😂
I have 3 weeks vacation but can't travel because of covid so I just watch your videos instead
A French speaks english without saying "zis , the American parle français 🙆
Sabbatical, you even speack portuguese. Ganhaste, ainda mais, o meu respeito xD
Beautiful people in Tanzania 🇹🇿
40 years ago there was nothing on that beach - just palmtrees - those were the days
Great video thanks
Awesome videos Tommy!
Haha good to hear Swaili i'm french from Comoros
15:15 🎶 oooh pombe sigara,naeza wacha bila kung'ang'ana....lakini hawa wasichana..🎶 @Sautisol where you at😂😂
Pombe ,SIgara,,,,,ninaweza acha bila kunganga,,,lakini hao wasichana ,,haha u killed me on that Tommy!!🤣🤣
That's nice ... I d love to stay there
The the Tanzania guy with the big sun hat sounds like Watto from Star wars 😅
My boy came strong with the atheism. He brought a table, water and book to the game 😂
Sabbatical - Its such an amazing life your living. Im stuck in this god dang office in Northern Canada, and your out touring the world, meeting beautiful people. Cherish each day you get to experience this. Question though - do the locals seem like they hang around you as friends to try to get money from you? Or are they all genuine?
Tommy you look like you got drunk ,
how do you feel safari beer?
Kwa kiswahili tunasema unaonekana umependeza 😂😂😂
Nimependeza sana! Safari = best beer in Africa (but very strong)
@@SabbaticalTommy 😂😂😂
Exactly it's stronger, you had to take a meal before you face it
These jobless locals seem very well informed and articulate.
If you learn language language always comes with its culture as well. If you learn language slowly you wilil start to know culture custom tradition and its people's behaviour. So Easy to fit in or integrate to locals at list in my experience. I didn't study but can speak four language fluently.
@3:46, that’s so true in many parts of the world. Some people are too conservative to absorb the culture and learn something new. I commented on one of the other videos about how many languages I speak. And that comes from the “hunger” to learn. And I go all out. Immersing myself completely in the culture, so not just to speak the language, but to truly understand the culture. It’s a wonderful thing 😊
One thing I have noticed from your videos is you don't see anyone smoking cigarettes, why I noticed that,I don't know, lol.seems like great people
Not many people here smoke
i want to travel to TZ too, but i have to learn swahili first tho. Is there anything else i have to know
Was the 6.50 price for a beer a common price in Tanzania? I thought it was a bit steep. You can get a bucket with 5 beers and icecubes for 5 Euro in Spain.
That’s look like a good hangout place
The whole time they were taking all I coul hear was lines from The Lion king like asante sana and rafiki
Crazy tough job to be a TH-camr especially in these times ..,
Yule kijana kasema Tommy ni mzungu yule mfaransa sio mzungu ni muhuni yaani nimecheka sana mimi ni mtanzania naishi Sweden
thank you for these videos
Swahili word for accent is 'lafudhi'.
Asante! I looked it up after the video, hopefully I don't forget again haha
@@mundhirseif7492 Hahaha, hivi ni kwa nini sehemu kubwa ya waTanzania hatujui R na L, z na dh, s na th, zinawekwa wapi kwenye maneno? Hasa nyinyi mnaofundishwa kiSwahili na wasanii wa bongoflava. Utasikia mtu anasema mazumuni (badala ya madhumuni), samani (badala ya thamani), wewe naye unasema rafudhi, mwingine atasema rafuzi (badala ya lafudhi). Hebu kienzini kiSwahili kwa kukionges kwa ufasaha na Kama haujui, uliza!!
@@mundhirseif7492 lafudhi ama lahaj, si rafudhi au rahaja
@@mundhirseif7492 ni lafudhi. Sio rafudhi. Fungua kamusi utizame neno linavyoandikwa.
@@djdondullah8215 kwa mujibu wa kamusi ya kiswahili sanifu ni lahaja na sio rahaja. Acha kupotosha watu.
The people is so friendly!
-I am in Romania , i am single right now i have problems finding girls because many are gone to West Europe , i don t have enough money to travel in Africa for get a girl from there , but i see your videos and i am happy for you bro , because at list you are doing for me too . 😚😉😃 .. Have fun bro and tinck you are a very lucky man .
Romania has beautiful women.
Today I learned Tommy can speak portuguese too. Impressionante!
The lion king moment was a bit awkward
How is the security there? I heard that Zanzibar is more secure than Dar al-Salam
It's not bad really. Just don't go to questionable neighborhoods at night and keep an eye on your things. There are much more dangerous places in Africa and elsewhere than Dar
Dar is relatively safe , just don't go to dodgy places at night.
Tanzania is one of the safest countries in Africa.
@@SabbaticalTommy I love your positivity, that's true bad guys are globally,but Tanzania is much safe.
These people are amazing
That guy in black Tee is so fluent in Swahili.
Im from Scotland and yeah that's mostly true a lot of people don't understand the accent lol too fast etc..
@@Sc4recrow44 lol that's funny that's my city actually, and yeah I could imagine it would get awakward especially if you have to ask what did the say like 3 times lol
I’m from Scotland too and enjoying learning and seeing all across the world.
is the beach in dar e salam as nice as the one in zanzibar?
Honestly so jealous of the incredible weather lol
Watching this is making me want to visit
I would love to chill out on the beach with the locals. I don't speak Swahili but I think it would not matter.
Nice friendly people Tommy
