Jina langu ni Matt

Matt: Habari yako
Driver: nzuri
Driver: na wewe je
Matt: nzuri pia

I think I accomplished the some embryonic dialogue with our driver as he laughs and drives away.

Kiswahili lessons with a jolly Kenyan named Ezekiel. My opportunity to learn some actual Swahili phrases other than just sawa sawa (fine fine) and sema (talk to me). Our introduction a brief history of Africa, swahili and the root of the endless number of African languages.
