Yesterday we had a fun lesson and an easy subject matter. Our teacher taught us the vocab for clothing. We thought you might like to have a go at translating the following. The 1st person to email us with all 10 correct answers will be sent a packet of Tanzanian tea! ( but no cheating- for those of you who have lived in Tanzania and speak Swahili, I'm afraid you can't enter!!). Here's a clue: try reading them out loud and listen to how they sound... Have fun!
- sketi
- shati
- T-sheti
- koti
- jacketi
- sweta
- soksi

- and just one to make it a bit harder: nguo za kuogelea
Tomorrow, we set off early to drive back to Dodoma for our 2 week break. Andrew's brother, Tim, will be joining us on Sunday for 6 days over Christmas. Hopefully we will get a chance over the next couple of weeks to practise our fledgling Swahili, before resuming in January for the next 4 weeks.
