How are the plans for swahili going? If I cross my fingers really hard will there be any available before October?
No? Ok, well does anyone know of any good lessons for learning some swahili?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. 
If this website is correct http://www.glcom.com/hassan/lessons/useful_swahili_words.html , I’m in love with Swahili grammar. Maybe use some memrise decks and find a speaker on italki? Good luck!
Algorithm is unlikely to be ready before the new year - so hopefully lots of fun stuff by next summer…
Thanks Amy (and Aran). I have set myself 2 weeks to learn as much Swahili as possible before going to Tanzania in 3 weeks time. But will only start after Bootcamp next week…!
Diolch yn fawr
Amy, you’re like an oracle for the web, you seem to know so many great places.
@Carys, I would love to hear about how you experience Tanzania, I don’t have any plans to go there myself (yet), but my partner is going there in October for 2 weeks through his involvement in 4H.
Wel, wel, wel! Swahili has a present continuous tense just like Welsh!
Hallo Wiwer, You can try out the American Foreign Service Institute Swahili course; loads of audio stuff and a book. All downloadable from the Internet Archive here; https://archive.org/details/SwahiliBasicCourse . Anyone interested in the FSI courses for various other languages can browse them at archive.org. You can also find some Peace Corps courses there on much the same lines.

I’m afraid not, but there is a dictionary there; https://ia800302.us.archive.org/31/items/acompletedictio00kerngoog/acompletedictio00kerngoog.pdf
Well, this is interesting. The dictionary is actually very old - from about 1915 or so I think I’ve read but quick circle around gave me prety confident thinking that it’s of a good use even now. Reading Introduction written in Slovene the written language is a bit old and many sentence structures or single words we don’t use anymore although they still exist in our grammar and literature. Quick view gave me the impression it is very comparable with modern dictionaries so it can still be very useful and handy tool for learners and those who just want to know a word or two in Slovene.
Thank you for this.
You’re very welcome indeed. And well done; studying Welsh through the medium of English takes some dedication, since they must both be about equally different from your native tongue. 
Oooo, yes, they are different in deed but I’m quite confident with English and can learn this way … for the Cymraeg … um… well… this is another LONG story.
I’ve found a very useful list of online resources for students of quite a few languages; http://travellingual.tumblr.com/post/100384037811/resources Tatjana might be interested in the Slovene section. And SSIW is right at the top of the list in the Welsh section.

Very well to see but for Slovene there could be more resources especially for radio and TV. Might suggest some.
A diolch eto.
