Book excerpt: “Up-Country Swahili Exercises” is a guide to learning Swahili complete with exercises. Swahili, also known as Kiswahili, is a Bantu language and the first language of the Swahili people. It is a lingua franca of the African Great Lakes region and other parts of Southeast Africa, including Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This volume concentrates on rural dialects and the more commonly-spoken language rather than “Correct Swahili”, and it will be of considerable utility to those wishing to learn it.
