Kiswahili

During the trip, my Kiswahili slowly improved. I learned some important phrases, such as:

Habari za asubuhi? - (Good morning/News of the morning?)
Hamjambo? - (How are all of you?)
Jina langu ni... - (My name is...)
Natokea... - (I am from...)
Nikohapa ufundisha kuruka kamba - (I am here to teach jump rope)
Moja, mbili, tatu, nne, tano, sita, saba, nane, tisa, kumi - (#'s 1-10)

I used some of the phrases below, during a performance at Mchikichini School near Morogoro:

Nothing too impressive. I slowly got better during the trip, taking every opportunity to talk with local speakers.
