This book is intended for University students who are interested in learning the Swahili language at the Introductory and Intermediate levels. This book consists of 40 teaching chapters, and each chapter is arranged in the following manner:
- An Introduction of the main concepts that will be dealt with in the chapter.
- Sections which present the chapter’s material broken down into easier to understand concepts.
- Examples for most Sections which help the student under-stand the concepts being taught.
- Practice Exercises, so the student can begin to use the knowl-edge they have acquired.
- A Vocabulary list of all new words taught in the chapter. After the new word has been encountered it will not appear in the Vocabulary of a following chapter but can be found at the back of the book in the Swahili Vocabulary Dictionary which is a complete dictionary of all the words used in this textbook. It is expected that the Vocabulary will be memo-rized by the students at their own speed.
- Answers to Practice Exercises so students can confirm and correct the Practice Exercises they have just completed within the chapter.
