Swahili Language Course

Swahili Language Program Objective

The Boston Language Institute, New England’s leading language school, offers Swahili language courses to individuals and companies. The quality of instruction provided in our Swahili language classes are on a par with the best native Swahili language school.

We consider it to be the major goal of our program to have you use Swahili in as large a variety of real-life situations as possible. To that end, our Swahili courses have been designed to build fluency in both the spoken and the written language. Communication in a warm and relaxed environment is an important feature of our programs, as is homework, which includes exercises for review and practice of the material taught in class. Moreover, by keeping the class size limited to twelve students, we ensure that each student will be able to actively participate.

Swahili Level 1

Introduces the Swahili language and its cultural and historical context. Students learn basic greetings and acquire vocabulary and expressive skill through structured dialogue activities on topics of everyday interest. Upon completion of this level, students should be able to talk briefly about themselves and their interests as well be able to read and write simple sentences.

Swahili Level 2

An important aim of this course is to teach students the cultural practices that shape daily use of the language. Covered topics including time, infinitive use and the future tense enable students to improve both the complexity and precision of their communication skills. Upon completion of Level Two, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a range of basic topics as well as be able to read and write simple texts.
