Hello, my name is Ina. I am German, 30 years old and have been in Nairobi twice. I feel like catching up with some Kenyan/East African spirit in Berlin and maybe also to learn a bit Swahili. In return we can talk in German or English and do some freetime activity for example.
Feel free to contact me. Looking forward to catch up with new people from EAC.
Asante,
Ina

Ina,

I can help; I am a professor emeritus of Swahili who also taught Swahili at Bayreuth. There should be copies of my HISTORY OF SWAHILI PROSE around Berlin, which you may wish to glance through.
Tell me what you want to do exactly so I'll be able to give you a definite answer.

Best regards,
Jack D. Rollins

Hello Ina.

The Community section (Language Exchange) in the Berlin classifieds might help. You could post an advert there.

Thank you,
Aurélie

Ina,

So far you have been silent with respect to your future plans with respect to your study of Kiswahili; if you are still interested, I would recommend that you get in touch with Jack Muragi.

I am Laura, half Portuguese, half Italian. I have lived in Berlin, Germany, since 2007. I speak Portuguese, Italian, German, English and French. I love African music, culture and languages. My mother's family is actually from Mozambique. I am completly in love with Swahili and I will start to learn Swahili in September. I would like to know people native language Swahili - we could, for example, meet in a Berlin bar and translate together a Swahili song.
I would also like to know about Tanzania, Kenya etc. music parties in Berlin!
And... A good Swahili Grammar?
Thanks for your answers!
Regards,
Laura
