Basic Swahili is the 1 iPhone and iPad app on the App Store that uses everyday words and phrases to teach the Swahili language. Learn Swahili quickly and effectively with this unique app This App will ...
Went over lessons once and left it alone for some days Got back to it and it felt more natural Seems not cramming it works good So far so good Al Heru
Basic but useful exercises Very practical approach to learning the language jfoley126
I am loving this app along with two others to learn Swahili The vocabulary sections are especially helpful as is the breakdown of how the words change depending on whose got what One of the other apps seems to expect you to know when to use mtanzania vs watanzania etc The words were suddenly introduced without explanation With this app now I know That other app also doesn t offer pronunciation The reason for four stars here I couldn t find the very common asante thank you in this app I had to go to the other app to find it Also some of the links to pronunciations are off However I did write the developers and got a quick reply they are working to fix it So far this is the one app I would pay for once they work out those bugs Asanteni sana Scraphappy7
Habari I m eager to learn Swahili and this app is a great tool to do so Beginner Bsg0113
I am just loving this app Swahili primer breaks down the language in a way that is really understandable to non native speakers and is so much better than any class I have taken I may be moving to rural Tanzania and this will be immensely helpful Swahili primer ni fit Mazziestarz
This app is beautifully designed for ease of use and the lessons and exercises are easy to follow I have nothing but praise for this app Terrific language App CGHTB
I ve always wanted to learn the language this app is perfect Great app Meefjfofn
This app is great Helps me practice grammar structuring as well Nzuri sana SheriaKorea
Love this simple and easy app So easy Icecream candy
Before I got this app I had just been floundering around memorizing Swahili words This app actually explains the grammar behind word and sentence construction so now I can actually speak sentences and figure out how to properly express things and decode new words Don t try to learn Swahili without it The info in this app is NECESSARY to learning Swahili nonstopnancy
This is an amazing app Very detailed and plenty of lessons to either learn or get better at Swahili I travel to east Africa every year and use this app to keep my Swahili fresh I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn Wonderful Krs8643
This app is really detailed when it comes to the grammatical structure of Swahili Very cool useful The developer is also very responsive to reports of issues bugs Awesome app Pearcington

Excellent Excited to become fluent in Swahili This app makes the language less intimidating and easy to learn Great Jess jess10
I love this app Straight forward explanations And then exercises to hear the sounds and practice learning vocabulary Great practice and to HEAR the language Horsejoy
Its clear its easy to use and its a fun language for me I tried to use Duo Lingo but they don t have any african dialects in their categories This ones 10x better anyways because your learning sentences and conversations you really could be having with someone who speaks Swahili With Duo lingo i spent 4 months on that app to learn spanish and you can only get as far as the cat drank the milk before you have to pay for extra lessons This app wins 5 Star Magikarper
This app is great for foundational learning A really good app Chege Nyanzi
I like this app and the exercises but they are some inconsistencies For example bed is sometime translated kitabu sometime kitanda or during the exercises the number is 18 but there is no option to choose 18 Because of the different mistakes that I ve seen I am not giving it a five but this is still a good application to learn Good app but errors Kenyafranceus
I never write reviews but this app is legit Great PeaceCorpsGuy
For the price this app is priceless I have learned so much in just a few days The soundbites help with pronunciation so much And the exercises are a great way to test your progress I can t believe I m starting to learn Swahili Thanks for such a useful tool for a beginner I recommend this to anyone just starting from scratch on speaking understanding Swahili Definitely worth it So pleased with this app prf

App crashes after first audio play Every time Don t buy amalthya
Mine has never crashed iOs 5 1 1 Great selection of common words phrases with excellent sound clips and quizzes I think quizzes are too easy and I d love if quizzes were audio and you had to recognize the phrase by ear I d also like some explanations about the language structure For example why does Je Precede most questions Nice start DexterHugh
I ve been using this app for quite awhile now The interface is clean the voice is clear and paced I love that there is a quiz at the end of each lesson and the word of the day option helps keep me motivated This is one of the best Swahili apps out right now Nice App afroterrestrial

The upside is that this program is very easy to use The downside is that many of the words and phrases are incorrect to their displayed meanings Habari is not hello it more literally translates into news or information There are several other poor translations in this program It seems clear that it was not developed by an individual with a solid msingi wa kusema kusoma na kuandika Kiswhili Falls Short

Super helpful app Teaches grammar and vocabulary and all the basics for the language It is well organized and it is easy to access the information I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn Swahili Most Helpful app so far
Before I installed the update everything was fine What sets this app apart from the others I have downloaded is the quiz section I like that I can test my knowledge after completing a session The narrators voice is nice and clear and the interface is nicely designed However after the update I could not even launch the program without it immediately crashing What I wound up doing is deleting the app from my iPad and reinstalling it I thought I would be prompted that I already purchased the app but that message never came up and I was charged a second time for the app So now it at least starts Ive tried the posting to Facebook option and that worked fine as well as the word of the day I have not tried recording my voice yet so I dont know if it will crash at that point or not Anyway all in all its a pretty solid app that Im willing to take the 299 hit Maybe If I didnt have to buy it twice

Thanks for putting together a great introductory app It would be ideal to do another iteration with more phrases and to test actual sentence construction but this is fantastic to start Excellent beginners phrasebook
After the most recent update I cant even open the app Automatically crashes every time Also If this app had the ability to copy paste I would definitely give it more stars that is after I can use it again Doesnt work now

The narrators voice is clear I love how I can record my own voice to hear if Im saying the phrase correctly and that there is a quiz for every section U can even post it to Facebook I wish there were more words and phrases and would pay more money if there were because I love the setup and layout Love love this app
App crashes after first audio play Every time Dont buy

I too was having a problem with the app crashing but after closing the app and restarting the iPad and then restarting the app I havent had another problem with it crashing It is a great program for the cost I only wish it were more geared toward casual conversation such as Hujambo for a greeting My wife and I are quickly learning to converse with each other in Kiswahili using this program Again this is a very good program I love this application

This may not be the best resource for learning an entire language but its definently a great place to start Many great words and phrases that will help anyone with a passion to learn the language grow in fluency Perfect beginner app
It Is the best swahili app on the app store however is not very good because it teaches you in the worst way you can possibly learn by just memorizing phrases and words Many people take this approach to language learning and teaching and trust me i know from experience it doesnt work You need tovlearn how the language actually works and everything to be able to learn to converse It cannot be a primary resource for learning swahili but can help you for some basic phrases you might use while traveling and as a word reference It also helps because you can hear native speakers and record and hear yourself But if you actualy wanna learn it well get Rosetta Stone it is great and the best language system i have ever used So prety much overall only get it if you only plan on learning a couple phrases for travel and cant afford something much better like Rosetta Stone Best Swahili App But Seriously Could be Improved
Dont buy this App crashes 100 of time and is totally useless Messages to support are ignored App crashes
thank you very much thank you
I have been to Tanzania By the time I got home I had developed a passion for the African people this program gave me a way to learn more Swahili I look forward to going back to Africa with a better understanding of Swahili Great
Love it Basic Swahili
This app has really helped me start to learn the basics for Swahili in an organized way I really like the quizzes which help wrap up the information learned The only thing I would change is to be able to expand the vocabulary on the app Very useful and helpful app Very helpful
This is the best language app I came across and the lessons is very easy to learn I learn to speak Swahili in one week Great software The best language app
Very unstable and crashes after playing a single phrase Dont buy unless they fix this problem Running on ipad2 with iOS 7 Unstable app
This app is great for foundational learning A really good app
Crashes Needs updating Really wish it worked Needs updating
Very good Mo Bee
