About Me
Hujambo,I first came into contact with Swahili in 2000 during my internship in Tanzania. 5 years later I decided to pass on my knowledge of Swahili to others.
But East Africa, and especially Tanzania, is my second home. Until 2019, I spent large parts of the year in Tanzania as a tour operator and tour guide.
I love transferring knowledge and seeing people grow. So teaching has become my job and hobby: 3 days a week as a tourism teacher at HBO and also Swahili at least 3 evenings a week.
During the lessons I not only take the time to talk about grammar, but culture is also discussed. Their worldview is so beautifully reflected in their language.

Had my first Swahili lesson last week, teacher Cynthia is definitely recommended. I found it very pleasant.
Good teaching material and certainly what she sends you by email, the exercises and music as a gift.

This is the continuation of the beginners course and leads to A2 + level.
The course starts with a short review of the material from the beginners course and then continues with the more complex grammar.
Topics that are discussed here include: the weather, the little words, safari, narrative, writing letters and topics related to your own destination.
Speaking skills and writing skills become more important in these lessons. For example, it is expected that you can give a small presentation, and you will be challenged to do the emails to the teacher as much as possible in Swahili.
I have been giving Swahili lessons since 2004. Both beginners and average speakers.
Although private lessons are always adapted to your own learning needs, I try to combine both grammar and conversation skills in the lessons. In addition, culture also comes up for discussion, because in my opinion it is inextricably linked to language.
Swahili is spoken in Kenya and Tanzania. It is the most widely spoken Bantu language in Africa.
In my A1 course I take you from zero to A1 level.
In the beginning it will be a bit awkward, with small sentences, but at the end of the course you will be able to have simple conversations, such as buying fruit or booking a room.
Knowledge and facts alternate in this course. We cover vocabulary and grammar of the language. The pronunciation will also be discussed, and we will practice small conversations.
Topics covered include:
- greetings and introduce yourself;
- Various groups of nouns;
- Count;
- Sentence structure;
- Present, past and future tense;
- Direct object and indirect object;
- Ask for directions; shopping at the market.
