My first day of Kiswahili

Starts tomorrow and I'm excited about this. I am dying to communicate better with everyone. Although I am learning fast, I want to learn all the proper grammar and sentence structure. I try to speak Swahili as much as I possibly can. Sometimes it takes too much energy to think, and I revert back to English.  

Richard will be my teacher. He is a fine gentleman with a great vibe and is quite smart and well put together. He currently teaches at one of the secondary schools, and teaches on the side, as well. He speaks 4 languages, Swahili, English, Spanish and French. He also teaches Gifty, my adorable neighbor girl who I will write about soon. Love her!!

I think I will take 2 classes a week. Not sure how much each class will be yet. He asked me to give him a price that I feel comfortable with. I will consult my friends. 

Hakuna matata!
