This video explains the basic structure of Swahili language to a beginner and also an intermediate. Understanding the basic structure helps one to improve their sentence construction hence better speaking
I think maybe Swahili would best be explained by listening to a native Swahili speaker trying to speak English, as a beginner. Would he say "Me now go" for "I am going"? Perhaps if one can start to think like a native Swahili speaker, that would be a good start.
What is language? It is a set of random sounds which make sense to human beings in expressing themselves. Therefore, English and Kiswahili are totally different languages. We use English to explain concepts of the other languages but the arrangement of words in a sentence differ and sometimes are similar. For instance in English you'll say "two books" but kiswahili will be "books two "
@@swahililanguageschool Thank you very much for your reply. I was trying to say that, not very effectively. If I as a native English speaker can think "books two" that might be helpful in understanding the structure of Kiswahili (as a total beginner - I started yesterday!). Obviously after a few months' study it will become apparent. I find strictly literal translations very helpful in understanding other languages. Thanks for your video, very useful
@@charleswhite758 I totally understand. If someone barely speaks English, they will use the same sentence structure as kiswahili. It's like plug and play. And by them doing that, we could inturn do the same and plug in kiswahili for the English words they use
The lesson is good thank you for teaching Africans their lagguage

Shidda una shida gani?
Wacha wivu si utengeze video yako. Pumbavu zako
But do they speak English well enough to explain it to an international audience?
