Kuja! (Come!) We'll learn about the culture and history of the Swahili-speaking countries (specifically Kenya and Tanzania), and do hands-on activities such as shelling and grinding corn, which we will use to make the traditional food ugali.
We'll also learn some of the Kiswahili language and key phrases. After this class, you may laugh when you see Taco Bell or Jamba Juice, thanks to their alternative Swahili meanings!
Siku njema! (Have a good day!)
