It is one of the few available Swahili textbooks. There is audio that can be downloaded from the 5-college website. Listen to audio slowed-down to about 70%. The book teaches the basics satisfactorily, but it has big pictures and wastes space.Besides this, download and listen to the language transfer in swahili, it is free, oral only, and does a very good job on the verbs and class nouns. (It is chatty and uses a French lady for a learner, which kills the pronunciation, but that is another matter.) Also find on the web and download the free old foreign service institute course and audio. With all of these, you can learn Swahili decently. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is great with or without a teacher *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 23 January 2016* This book is great with or without a teacher, it is easier to plough through with a teacher, but not impossible without, just might take a while longer. I have used it with both and it is so insightful. Short stories in Swahili about Swahili culture all along the coast and helps to form understanding of the swahili language as well as what place it takes in different parts of east Africa. The exercises are simple, yet very very essential and you will find yourself being pushed at every chapter. It really does lay the foundation for beginners Swahili and starts pushing into beginners intermediate by the end. At the back there are riddles, shorter stories, sayings and there is even a chapter on poetry, it is a great book, in fact the base book i would recommend for those serious about wanting to learn Swahili ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottimo *by on Reviewed in Italy 19 July 2020* Corso che corrisponde alle aspettaive. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swahili: A Foundation for Speaking, Reading, and Writing - Second Edition - Swahili-English/English-Swahili Practical Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionary) - Swahili Grammar and Workbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/410637075-kiswahili-swahili-msingi-wa-kusema-kusoma-na-kuandika-a-foundation](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/410637075-kiswahili-swahili-msingi-wa-kusema-kusoma-na-kuandika-a-foundation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
