Kiswahili

Welcome to Bloganuary! I am participating in a writing challenge hosted by Wordpress. Each day in January, I will publish a new article based on a prompt provided by the team at Wordpress. You can join the challenge here.

Kiswahili

I have had a chance to travel to Kenya, Tanzania and Burundi where you find the natives speak Kiswahili. I believe this is one of the languages I wish I could speak more fluently.

I have work colleagues, friends and family too that speak it elegantly and I would love to do the same too. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to learn the language in high school so I’ll have to do the learning myself which I hope will be more fun and fulfilling.

I think I should start watching shows in Kiswahili since I know a couple of words in Spanish because of a couple of Netflix shows.

With the East African Community becoming more real, it’s more evident that Kiswahili could become our national language soon. We already have the anthem in Kiswahili so it’s best I figure out how to speak it soon.

Other languages I wish I could speak include Spanish, French and Ateso.


Here is a new saying I learned today; Alea iacta est. It means the die is cast.
