A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Swahili Exercises: Compiled for the Universities Mission to Central Africa

This little book intended as a practical guide for those who wish to speak Swahili correctly. It does not pretend to teach them to speak the language, but to guide them to the use of correct forms, and to draw their attention to niceties of expression, which the untutored ear would probably miss. The only way to learn to speak a language is by listening to, and talking with, natives. Without this no book in the world can be of much use. But a listener will soon meet with forms and phrases which want explanation. It is then that he can make good use of a book. Thus, a listener would soon find that the first syllables of Swahili words were often changing, but it would be very difficult for him without any guide to discover what rules the changes followed.

The first syllables of Swahili words depend almost always upon some Substantive expressed or understood. But if a learner is plunged at once into a chaos of ten or twelve or fifteen or sixteen different forms with various effects upon the other parts of speech, he is apt to give up the attempt to master what seems so much more difficult than it really is.
