Finally I see someone struggling to learn what am perfect in 😂😂😂😂 feels good to be on the other side for once

Iam always fascinated ,when I see Kiswahili being expanded to reach other parts of the world ,which is not Africa. Iam from South Sudan. I learnt Kiswahili in Kakuma refugees camp , located in Northern part of Kenya,,where almost students didn't speak Kiswahili often. However, I myself loved the language more than other subjects. I could spend a lot of my times studying Kiswahili. When my Kiswahili teachers realised that I have a great interest in the language, they could teach hard if they see me responding positively in the class. Every Kiswahili teacher appeared to be my friend and like me very much. Some started to translate Kiswahili in English and I could copy everything in my note book. The first supportive little book I used to have was a book in which English words were translated in Kiswahili. The first stage I went through before that, was learning vowel letters such as, a,e,i ,o,u which form Kiswahili syllables. After that, I started learning tenses, ' nyakati': wakati uliopo, wakati uliopita, wakati timilifu , wakati ujao na kadhalika. I started it like that till I read Kiswahili books themselves. When I resettled to Australia in 2010, I bought myself some Kiswahili books, which I refers to sometimes so that I can maintain the little I have, because it is not commonly spoken here.

Dr. Michael was my Kiswahili teacher in high school...this is superb......

Amazing! Kiswahili kitukuzwe. Let's be proud of our language.

Congratulations Prof Wairungu. You are making us proud

Am a proud Swahili, someone miles away is learning my mother tongue.

I am a native Swahili speaker from Tanzania. I have always dreamt to teach Swahili abroad, but I have never had that lucky chance. If only I got someone to support me to realize my dream, I would be incredibly thankful.

africans better stop promoting Europeans culture and start promoting kiswahili

Watanzania muamke. Waalimu wa kiswahili mpo!!!!

Amazing job Chamwada, and thanks to Dr. Wairungu, who happens to be a great friend

Thanks Daktari, you are a legend. Wewe ni shujaa Daktari Wairungu. Thanks Chamwada for the variety of darings.

Congrats prof Wairungu,thanks Chamwanda!

Daring indeed my former Moi university alumni

Safi sana swahili to the world

Awesome

When foreigners try learning and master Swahili some of us back home we take it for granted! Impressive video, and all the best to Dr. Irungu's students in grasping our beloved language.

Was I the only disappointed that he didn't interview a Brother or sister learning swahili !!

Na hapa Kenya twaendelea kukidhalilisha Kiswahili.Eti ni cha wasio na kisomo na wasiostaarabika.

Nashukuru profesa kwa mweledi wako

good work chamwada

Congrats bro..

Am amazed

Kudos prof Wairungu,and my college mate.never thought kiswahili would take you miles and miles away from Moi university.Do you still do those typings of projects also back there as used to for us......heee....he

wow! intresting🙌🏽

He should do a youtube channel🤗

Where are our brothers and sisters learning the mother land language ..

Congrats my fellow teacher. I'm from Tanzania.

Wow!

So happy South Africa and Nigeria are learning Kiswahili. Can't wait for more African countries to join in. I feel awful when a foreigner speaks Kikuyu and I don't. Lazima nijifundishe

My high school former swahili teacher, KIRIMARA HIGH SCHOOL, NYERI.

Nice to see Swahili in Diaspora Kudos Alex

Good job, Prof. Wairungu and the students too! The student who visited TZ speaks with a TZ swahili accent; sounds excellent. Keep up the good work.

Mungu wangu

congrats uncle..

Wow

Why teach Swahili in the US, instead of African countries? This the language all African countries must adopt in future for communicating between ourselves.

We don't want sheng language that what made nairobians not to speak good swahili that's why people from the coast don't want sheng,munafuata lugha za watu munaacha za kwenu,sahii mtu asiye kuwa wa Mombasa akizungmza Swahili utacheka

Adika Kwa kiswahili. Those students will have a central kenyan accent. Am a victim from part of Spain as a kenyan. Welldone Wairungu. Good work

Hello dear brother Alex. I'm a Tanzanian teacher, a teacher of Kiswahili, can you connect me with Dr Wairungu so that I can get a job there? I'm humble

Wait. He said vitaMbu...😂😂😂😂 ata Mimi ni profesa..1:29

That's why I hate my fellow country man/woman communicating to me in a language that ain't mine........ KISWAHILI KITUKUZWE

+255 the home of swahili language, Tanzania ndio nyumbani mwa kiswahili,na ndiko inakozungumzwa zaidi kuliko kokote dunia

Daima mimi mkenya, mwananchi mzalendo!

wow, " Good job though hapo kidogo nimesikia vitambu". .

Kiswahili kitukuzwe. Ninyi waafrika someni kiswahili kwa dhati. Kiswahili kinalipa. Habari kutoka New York, Merikani.

*I'm waiting for former President Obama to speak fluent Swahili!*

Very good teacher wairungu,you're trying hard but I can hear some wrong pronunciation,I am a Tanzanian I wish you may work on it.

I admire your work sir but am also ashamed of our kids in Kenya and living abroad who can't speak their mother tongue. We even heard parent's been funny with their kid's for speaking mother lingo. We need to eliminate our way of thinking and keep to our traditions that's the only way to even eradicate mental slavery. Why do we have so many churches in Kenya instead of schools?

Funny...a kyuk...teaching Swahili...lovely....woi and the shrubs keep coming...lol

The problem with we Kenyans is that we complicate it... we should style up and stick to Kiswahili the real. Imagine unajifunza Kiswahili chako mufti kisha unakutana na Mnairobi fulani na huwezi kuelewa ata sentensi moja. Sheng in Kenya's killing the good Swahili, am afraid.

Nyinyi... hakuna kusengenya mzungu na swahili tena

cant wait for a day when an American will rap mixing English and Swahili

Is there any one wants to learn Somali Language?

Kiswahili(the language itself and has no plural) vs viswahili(street swahil language). Welcome in Tanzania

Kenya kiswahili sio rugha yenu yataifa uwongo

Kenyatta high school product

😅😅mnanimaliza.

kiswahili ni cha watanzania

acha wasome lugha yetu nao wapambane vile nasi tunapambana na lugha zao

vitambu?

Swahili originated in Tanzanian coast and spread on northern region of Tanzania 🇹🇿 to Mombasa (Kenya 🇰🇪) and southern region of Tanzania to Mozambique 🇲🇿 by business men and traders... Later it went and spread to every neighbor of Tanzania, thus every neighbor from Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬, Rwanda 🇷🇼, Burundi 🇧🇮, Eastern Congo 🇨🇩, northern Zambia 🇿🇲, northern Malawi 🇲🇼, Mozambique 🇲🇿, and Comoro island can all speak Swahili... But Kenya's neighbors Ethiopia 🇪🇹, South Sudan 🇸🇸, Somalia 🇸🇴 can't speak Swahili because Kenyans didn't create or spread Swahili words to other neighbors... Also after gaining independence, Tanzania 🇹🇿 immediately officialized Swahili as a national and official language of the nation while Kenya 🇰🇪 after gaining independence officialized English as their national and official language, but later Kenya 🇰🇪 added Swahili as their national language but not official language. Swahili is spoken fluently in Tanzania 🇹🇿 than any African country, Kenya use Swahili as their second language after English, while the rest countries use Swahili as their third language

But i think the only part of kenyan the speak good swahili is Mombasa

Sisi waswahili hatutamki 'adhari ' ni 'athari'.

Anayefundisha mwenyewe hawezi tamka kitabu anasema" Kitambu" Wakenya wajanja wajanja sana. Kifungua kinywa imekuwa "kiamsha kinywa" 🙄🙄

Unasoma kiswahili USA... Unafika kenya unaambiwa Monjokaa 😂😂😂😅😅.. But why.. Mbogi Genje

muhahe ya swahili sitaongea ju yao nikifika kule jamani 🤣

😂😂

A bit shocked to hear grown adults learning stuff that, in Kenya, is taught in primary school. If he were based in Kenya, Dr. Wairungu would be teaching Std.3 pupils...

So one learns Kiswahili sanifu and travels to Nairobi where sheng is spoken 🥴😎
