Event

We are pleased to offer an online and accessible opportunity for our members to learn Swahili in partnership with Lugha Swahili School. Unaweza kujifunza Kiswahili na SWIDN sasa!! You can now learn Swahili with SWIDN!

As part of our focus on resourcing our members towards locally led development practice, we are offering an exciting opportunity to a limited number of people to learn and improve their knowledge of Kiswahili. Lugha Swahili School is a UK-based online platform that offers Tanzanian Kiswahili lessons from beginners to intermediate level.

This virtual online Kiswahili class will be led by native Tanzanian, English-speaking tutors and offer appropriate language training in response to the levels required by those who attend. 

This opportunity is particularly targeted at our UK-based members working with partners in Tanzania, Kenya and parts of Uganda where Kiswahili is spoken. It is also open to any SWIDN members wishing to improve their language skills of one of the top 10 most spoken languages in the world, the only non-colonial, cross-border language, and a major world language spoken by 200 million people across the world. Kiswahili is also the first African language to be feted by the United Nations and one of the official languages of the African Union. 

We intend to run these sessions monthly online between July – December 2024 as a trial period, and extend further depending on interest.

Please note this session is for SWIDN members only. To find out more and request the registration link, email Emma at info@swidn.org.uk. Space is very limited, so if you have signed up – please let us know if you can no longer attend.
