Book Reviews of Swahili (Lonely Planet Phrasebooks)
Book Review: ajabu dogo kitabu (wonderful little book)
Summary: 5 Stars
I brought this little book for a trip to Kenya. It was a great resource for finding commonly used phrases and words. Swahili is a simple sounding, yet complex language. Because it was easy to understand the pronunciation of words, it was easy to look them up to see what someone who didn't know English was telling me!
It was easy to use in hotels, at the parks, shops and more. Made the trip much more enjoyable by being able to zero in on what I wanted with the right word(s) rather than using a point and mime system. Yes, at times I did transpose the words in the wrong order which had many of the native Swahili speakers in stitches, but they appreciated the effort to learn their language and the effor to communicate.
