SWAHILI:
GENERAL CONVERSATION
PREFACE
In the summer of
1965,
the Foreign Service Institute produced for Peace Corps
use an
Experimental Course in
Swahili. The distinctive feature of that course was its
'microwave' style of lesson organization, which emphasizes communicative use of each
structural element as soon as it appears. Subsequent experience in a number of Pea{'e
Corps training programs as well as at the Foreign Service Institute has led to extens ive
revision and supplementation, and to division of the one course into two.
The subject matter of this booklet is taken from the area of general, socially
useful, conversation. The student is introduced to the rudiments of Swahili grammar
as well as to a number of the highest frequency patterns and cliches which he will
need immediately upon arrival in East Africa.
The companion booklet,
An
Active Introduction
to
Swahili: Geography, may be
used before this one, or after it, or concurrently with it. Both have been produced with
financial support from the Peace Corps.
Supervising linguist for the project was Earl W. Stevick, assisted by Marianne
Lehr and Paul Imhoff. Swahili materials were supplied and checked by lohn Indakwa
and Daudi Ballali. Mr. Indakwa also supervised in one of the principal training pro-
grams in which the Experimental Course was first used.
The Institute wishes to thank the many persons who, through their criticisms and
corrections of the Experimental Course, have contributed to the improvement of the
present version.
