Product Description

Product Description

Teach Yourself Swahili Dictionary contains a comprehensive vocabulary for working Swahili. It contains approximately 14,000 headwords, though the actual number of equivalents is far greater than this, and certainly enough for everyday use. Special care has been taken to include words that are appropriate to life in East Africa so that this dictionary is extensive in its coverage but also concise and practical to use. A useful Swahili grammar and practical hints on pronunciation are also included at the beginning of the dictionary.

This edition has been updated by the author of the bestselling Teach Yourself Swahili to include the most recent usage of the language and reflect the considerable political, educational and scientific change since the 1960s. Because of the 'semantic explosion' that has taken place in Swahili over the last forty years, some words have acquired additional meanings and many English loanwords have been added to the Swahili-English section.

The leader in self-learning with more than 300 titles, covering all subjects.
Be where you want to be with Teach Yourself. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for ESF Education Officers, 3 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I am a novice Swahili speaker (knowing only that "uhuru" means freedeom and credit for even that goes to Star Trek). This book allowed me to pick up the rudiments of the language well enough that I could converse with a teacher who had spent some time in Uganda before coming to Hong Kong. I would recommend this book highly to those in education circles who have a hard time when confronted by colleagues with superior Swahili skills.

As a concise reference book on this language, this publication is effective and I able to see how to quickly use it to translate business documents and other correspondence.
